Anthony Patterson made a terrific point-blank save to deny Ciaron Brown, and keep Sunderland level against Oxford at the time. The moment got everyone talking, including Alex Neil who was very impressed on the touchline...
SHOT STOPPER
"He is a very, very good shot stopper. The second one in particular was a great save. The first one, I would expect him to get there, it's from distance and he can see it the full way, albeit he shows he is agile enough to get across."
KEY MOMENT
"The second one is an excellent save, and as I've said before these games between teams at the top end of the division are going to be defined by key moments. That was a key moment, and he made the difference for us. We then had a key moment of our own up the other end and that proved to be the difference in the game."
DIFFERENCE MAKER
"That's the difference between winning and losing so often at this level. How many times do you see it where you play really well, concede one chance and lose the game - it's happened to us since I've been here. Thankfully we found ourselves on the right side of it on Saturday."
YOUTH
"He's a young kid, this is his first season at this level and he's got a lot ahead of him. To be competing where we are, to have the burden of the expectation we have with Sunderland, and perform at the same time, you need to be made of stern stuff. Thankfully, our young lads are."
