Watch Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce dance for the fans after the club survived relegation with a 3-0 win against Everton

Watch Sam Allardyce's celebration dance after Sunderland's 3-0 win over Everton at the Stadium of Light which secured their Premier League status for another season.

Goals from Patrick van Aanholt and a double from Lamine Kone means Sunderland are safe and their great rivals Newcastle United, as well as Norwich, are relegated.

And Allardyce celebrated by dancing in front of the fans at the end of the game.

"Oh yeah, I enjoyed it at the end," said the Sunderland manager.

"It was a long few days from Saturday because of the limbo, we knew if we won we stayed up. Everyone wanted us to play like we did against Chelsea and in actual fact, we did it better today because we didn't have to come from behind and three goals, it should have been five or six and I think that says everything about us today.

"It's the attitude of the players who have absorbed the pressure and delivered us a performance like that that got us out of trouble."

It continues Allardyce's record of never being relegated from the Premier League and keeps Sunderland in the top division for the tenth consecutive season.
