Anichebe Exonerates Moyes From Sunderland Poor Form, Blames Players

Victor Anichebe has dedicated his goal and Sunderland&rsquo;s hard fought 2-1 win over Bournemouth to manager David Moyes, and suggested that the former Manchester United boss was not the reason behind the club&rsquo;s poor form prior to the trip to Dean Court.&nbsp; <br /><br />The Nigeria national-teamer opened his Premier League account for the Black Cats when he leveled matters in the 33rd minute, then won a penalty 16 minutes from full time which was converted by Jermain Defoe.<br /><br /><span class=\"body1\">&ldquo;We did this for the manager, over he last few weeks we have not done him justice. It has been a huge transition from last year to this one, </span><span class=\"body1\"><span class=\"body1\"><span class=\"body1\"><span class=\"body1\"><span class=\"body1\">&rdquo; Anichebe said in his post match comments.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></span><span class=\"body1\"><span class=\"body1\">&ldquo;</span>You could see by the reaction at the final whistle. We have wanted this result for so long. <br /><br /></span><span class=\"body1\"><span class=\"body1\"><span class=\"body1\">&ldquo;</span></span>It was a must-win game, even when we were down to 10 men, we didn&rsquo;t sulk we grinded it out.</span><span class=\"body1\"><span class=\"body1\"><span class=\"body1\">&rdquo;<br /><br />Despite cracking his ribs, Anichebe soldiered on until the end of the contest and was pictured lifting a Sunderland fan who managed to get onto the pitch. <br /></span></span></span><span class=\"body1\"><span class=\"body1\"><br />&ldquo;</span>The first half I cracked my rib, I couldn&rsquo;t move properly.</span><span class=\"body1\"><span class=\"body1\">&rdquo; he explained. <br /><br />Anichebe arrived the Stadium of Light as a free agent in September, penning a one-season deal until June 2017.<br /><br />Igho Kingsley <br /><br />Photo Credit : safc.com<br /></span></span>
