Sunderland manager Peter Reid believed his side were worth a point as the Wearsiders' crashed to defeat at the hands of lowly Leicester City at the weekend. It was the Foxes' new boss Dave Bassett's first win in charge of the club.

To make matters worse for the Black Cats', Ade Akinbiyi got his first Premiership goal of the season, after being described in the morning press as the league's worst striker.

Reid said "I certainly think we deserved something from the game as we created quite a lot of good chances but could not stick the ball in the net and to concede a goal from a corner was very poor. "
