Sunderland legend Gary Bennett has praised the Black Cats' defensive performance during their 1-0 win at West Brom on Saturday.
The former captain called the victory a "fantastic result" and a "great team performance" after his commentary on BBC Radio Newcastle.
"Anthony Patterson didn't have a great deal to do," Bennett said.
"He made a tremendous save in the second half late on where he's dived to his left-hand post to keep the ball out but overall you've got to say defensively we were excellent.
"You're putting your body on the line. Getting your head in. You're blocking shots. Fantastic."
