LONDON: Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe is looking to Leicester City for inspiration as his relegation-threatened club bid to stay in the Premier League.
Leicester, who beat Manchester City on Saturday to go five points clear at the top of the table, also battled against relegation last season but put on a late charge for safety.
Sunderland are second from bottom and fought back against Liverpool to win a point away at Anfield on Saturday, with Defoe scoring late to draw the teams level at 2-2.
Leicester’s story is unbelievable. But you do think, if they can do that why can’t we?” Defoe told British media.
“We have such a strong squad here now. The team spirit is great and if we carry on working hard we will get results and hopefully get them soon.”
