Victor Anichebe has scored three goals in his last two Sunderland appearances.

Phil Neville has joked with Victor Anichebe on Twitter, after the Sunderland forward’s latest post on the social media website.

Anchiebe made headlines earlier in the season when his use of Twitter landed him in trouble.

The powerful forward gave away that he had a PR company helping him run his social media, by posting a clearly scripted message.

However, since making that mishap, things have picked up for Anichebe at Sunderland.

The former Everton forward has made a huge impact at the Stadium of Light, and he has started in David Moyes’ side last two matches.

Anichebe’s inclusion appears to have added a threat to Sunderland’s attack, with the Black Cats picking up back-to-back victories to move off the foot of the table.
