Sunderland midfielder Craig Gardner has hailed the impact of new signing Louis Saha.

Saha again impressed in their Capital One Cup win against MK Dons.

Gardner said: "Louis Saha was unbelievable, too. He held the ball up so well, just what you need when you're under pressure.

"That's why he's played for top teams like Man United throughout his career. He's a top class-player."
