Victor Anichebe Can Help Sunderland End Their Close To Ten-Hour Barren Spell

Sunderland coach David Moyes is confident that Nigeria international Victor Anichebe will help the team end their close to ten-hour goal drought following his return from injury against Leicester City on Tuesday night.<br /><br />The Black Cats have not scored since Jermain Defoe hit target in the 40th minute of their 3-1 loss to Stoke City on January 14, and Anichebe was close to ending the barren run but was denied by the woodwork three minutes after his introduction. <br /><br />&nbsp;&ldquo;Getting Victor Anichebe will help a little bit,&rdquo; Moyes said in his post match comments, according to chroniclelive.co.uk.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not saying he will come in and score us another 10 or 20 goals, but it will help us make some more opportunities.<br /><br />&ldquo;I think if Victor&rsquo;s shot had gone in off the post, it would have given everyone a lift, it would have been 1-1 with about 10 minutes to go and it might have been a different story.&rdquo; <br /><br />In 12 Premier League outings for the Stadium of Light outfit this term, Anichebe has scored three goals and he is the second top scorer for the team.<br /><br />Igho Kingsley <br /><br />Photo Credit : safc.com<br />
