Anichebe ends 546-day goal drought

Nigerian-born Victor Anichebe on Saturday ended his 546 days goal drought after powering Sunderland to the 2-1 win over Bournemouth.
Anichebe’s goal showcased his strength as the former West Brom forward muscled his way into space before powering an effort past Artur Boruc.
But the 28-year-old revealed he had been carrying an injury.
He however dedicated Sunderland’s first Premier League win of the season to boss David Moyes.
“We did this for the manager. Over the last few weeks we have not done him justice,” Anichebe said.
“It has been a huge transition from last year to this one. For all the work the manager has done, this one was for him. He is the one who has been getting the blame, even though we are the ones on the pitch.
“You could see by the reaction at the final whistle. We have wanted this result for so long. It was a must-win game, even when we were down to 10 men, we didn’t sulk, we ground it out.”
He explained: “The first half I cracked my rib, I couldn’t move properly.
“It is a massive win. Week by week I feel like we have improved, it is just a case of luck,” he said.
“The energy levels were brilliant, we showed great team spirit and character when it was hard. Credit to the boys.
“Managers get sacrificed at the end of the day, they put they work in but they can only do so much. It is down to the players.
“David Moyes wasn’t on the bench, but I can imagine he is delighted.
“This win is for the manager and fans, who are unbelievable.”
