Sunderland FC News: Jermain Defoe will NOT want to beat this Premier League record this weekend

Sunderland star Jermain Defoe could equal one of the Premier League’s most unwanted records this weekend.

The striker has scored 24 Premier League goals in a losing cause, a tally only ‘bettered’ by Matt Le Tissier, who netted 25 times without Southampton winning in the top-flight.

So if the 34-year-old repeats that trick for the Black Cats away to Everton on Saturday afternoon – a game you can hear live and exclusively on talKSPORT2 at 3pm - he will draw level with the Saints’ legend.
