David Moyes hails courageous Sunderland after and praises John O'shea... before forgetting his captain's age

David Moyes praised the courage of his Sunderland players after seeing them grasp just a second Premier League point of the season against West Brom.

The injury-hit Black Cats needed an 83rd-minute equaliser from substitute Patrick van Aanholt to snatch a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light on Saturday and avoid a fourth successive home defeat.

Moyes said: 'We are lacking a bit of quality at the minute in certain areas, but the players tried to make up for it with their endeavour and their courage to try to play at times where we weren't that good at it.
