The Black Cats have won three of their opening five games under new boss Steve Bruce, the latest victory being Saturdays 4-1 win over Hull at the Stadium of Light. And disenchanted Ireland midfielder Reid (pictured), who scored Sunderlands second goal, said: There is no point saying we are going to finish here or there. We will go about it as best we can, giving everything in every game. David done good, admits Allardyce blacKburn boss Sam allardyce compared david dunn to Steven gerrard after the midfielder inspired rovers to their first win of the season. goals from El-Hadji, Jason roberts and dunn earned the hosts a 3-1 victory over Wolves at Ewood Park and allardyce insists dunn will be vital if his team are to build on the result. We have four strikers with david taking up a Steven gerrard role, he said. david has blossomed into one hell of a creative player with two goals in three games. Sporting Metro FIVE games into their UCFL first season and Sporting Metro had suffered five straight defeats. But one seven-goal thriller later in Saturdays Mediterranean heat, and Sporting Metro had their first win of the season, thus knocking a side four divisions above them out of the competition. Full-time failed to separate the sides at 2-2, with Metro clinching it in extra-time 4-3, thanks to goals from Stephen ONeill and a hat trick from manager Marc Laycock. Hopefully the boost will get their league form finally moving... footballdigest soccer PreMIer leAGue goal: agbonlahor and young Gabby cleared for national service moyes calls foul as duff lifts fulham EvErton boss David Moyes last night accused referee Peter Walton of missing Dickson Etuhus challenge that left Phil neville with a gash on his knee during the defeat at Fulham. neville was carried off on a stretcher just after the hour mark at Craven Cottage with Damien Duff going on to grab the home sides winner after Paul Konchesky had cancelled out tim Cahills opener. Etuhu appeared to catch the toffees captain with his studs as he followed through on a tackle. And Moyes said: It was a bad miss for the referee to miss that. In the football we play now it doesnt go on and I thought it warranted a free-kick and a yellow card. After working with Etuhu at former club Preston, Moyes feels the nigeria international would not deliberately injure an opponent. I know Dickson quite well and I dont think hes that type of player, he added. Cottagers manager roy Hodgson also defended his midfielder and said: Im convinced there was no intent on Dicksons part. From what I understand it was the follow-through that caught Phil. Cahill headed Everton ahead on 33 minutes despite looking offside and Konchesky levelled, via a deflection off toffees new-boy Sylvain Distin, after the break. But Duff stole the show with a fine curling effort on 79 minutes. Martin Oneill tipped Gabriel agbonlahor to break into englands World Cup finals squad after watching the striker hit the winner in the second-city derby. agbonlahor has not played for england since their defeat to Spain back in February but the 22-year- old looked back to his best as he downed Birmingham with an 85th-minute header. i am delighted for Gabby, said Villa boss Oneill. Goals help his confidence enormously. if he continues to play and perform right there is no reason for him to be disregarded [by england]. Birmingham boss alex Mcleish felt the result was tough on his players but rued their failure to cope with the set-piece which led to the goal. it is a harsh result, said the Scot. We played really well but their goal was a free header and weve got to deal with those balls.
