Sunderland beat Norwich City 3-1 last weekend, in a performance which has been widely praised.

Queens Park Rangers boss Ian Holloway has suggested that Sunderland deserved to lose to Norwich City, on his side’s official website.

Sunderland picked up a 3-1 victory over Norwich at Carrow Road last weekend, and their performance was widely credited.

However, Holloway’s QPR side are set to take on the Canaries this evening, and the 54-year-old does not want his side becoming complacent after seeing the Black Cats’ result.

He said: “I watched Norwich’s clips against Sunderland, and they should have beaten them in my opinion.

“Sunderland scored against the run of play and well done to Sunderland for stopping them, but Norwich certainly showed the threat they have.”

Sunderland may feel that Holloway hasn’t given them the credit they deserve for an excellent away performance.

The Black Cats soaked up most of what Norwich threw at them, and looked dangerous on the counter.

Indeed, although Norwich had 71% of possession, they only had three shots on target during the contest.

Sunderland’s victory over Norwich means that they remain unbeaten over the season so far.

The Black Cats are in action again this evening, when they take on Sheffield Wednesday.
