Italian international excited after for Sunderland against Liverpool

Sunderland midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini revealed his excitement after scoring for the Black Cats against Liverpool on Sunday.

Despite the goal the the Tyne and Wear club lost 3-1, the 28 year-old admitted he was disappointed with the result.

“We were aggressive and we dominated the game,” he told reporters. “But after their first goal we lost our heads a bit and were punished again.

“It was a good game, except for the result. If we played it again I’m sure the result would be different.

“I am happy to have scored, but I would have preferred to have won the match.”

Giaccherini has represented his country on 15 occasions while scoring two goals.
