Sunderland forward Victor Anichebe has scored three goals in four starts.
David Moyes has admitted at his press conference this morning that Victor Anichebe has surpassed everyone’s expectations at Sunderland, apart from his.
Anichebe was snapped up on a free transfer by Sunderland last summer, following his release from West Bromwich Albion.
Moyes had worked with Anichebe at Everton earlier in their respective careers, and the Scottish boss says he always believed Anichebe had the capabilities to perform to this standard.
Anichebe has started four matches for Sunderland, and sparked a revival for the Wearsiders.
The Black Cats have moved to within one point of safety, after winning three of their last four matches.
Anichebe already has three goals to his name for Sunderland, and his partnership with Jermain Defoe has been very effective.
The Nigerian striker now looks likely to start in Sunderland’s next match, which comes against Swansea City this weekend.
