Sunderland winger Tom Watson was described as a "well-designed gift" by his boss after scoring his first two goals for the Championship high fliers to help beat Stoke City on storm-hit Wearside.
Watson drilled a low shot for his side's seventh-minute equaliser and got a deflected 86th-minute winner to keep fourth-placed Sunderland within two points of leaders Leeds - and earn a first victory in seven matches.
Having made his first Championship start for Sunderland only in November, 18-year-old Watson has quickly established himself in the absence of the injured Romaine Mundle.
And, having also been denied both by the post and Stoke keeper Viktor Johanssson, on another day he might even have had a hat-trick.
