Adnan Januzaj has expressed his delight in working with "unbelievable" Jermain Defoe.

The midfielder on-loan from Manchester United has backed the talisman toincrease his 14 goal tally so far this season.

Januzaj has been used in an advanced role to support the former Tottenham striker on his goal trail. The pair combined well together during Saturday's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace - with the Belgium international assisting both of Defoe's goals.

Saturday's win against Palace was a first in seven games. The Black Cats remain at the foot of the table but are just two points away from safety.
