Black Cats hero delighted by defender's impact

Sunderland's goalscoring hero Sebastian Larsson has piled the praise on the club's summer signing Wes Brown. The experienced defender called time on his lengthy Manchester United career to begin a fresh challenge with the Black Cats this summer. Although Larsson made the headlines with his strike in their 1-1 weekend draw at Liverpool on Saturday, the Swede has hailed Brown's impact. The 31-year-old has brought leadership qualities, according to Larsson, who has also been delighted with his partnership with Anton Ferdinand. "Ever since Wes came here he's been a leader," said Larsson. "He's a terrific player and obviously can only get better by playing regularly. "He was fantastic. It was nice seeing him and Anton do well."
