Sunderland winger Sebastian Larsson admits that he was relieved to score the winning goal against Blackburn Rovers yesterday afternoon.

Sunderland winger Sebastian Larsson has admitted that he was relieved to score the winning goal against Blackburn Rovers yesterday afternoon.

The Swede's late intervention came a week after he missed a penalty against Wolverhampton Wanderers, a game which the Black Cats lost despite leading at one point.

"It's been a tough week, missing that penalty and turning a game around which we should have won," said the 26-year-old. "I felt I needed to do something and I am happy I got a goal, especially after last weekend."

Larsson joined Sunderland during the summer on a free transfer following his release from Birmingham City.
