David Moyes insists he will not quit as Sunderland boss despite fans turning on him during Middlesbrough defeat

Embattled Sunderland boss David Moyes has vowed to fight on after fans turned on him in the wake of a costly derby defeat at Middlesbrough.

The 54-year-old Scot, who on Wednesday morning was hit with a Football Association charge over comments he made to a female reporter last month, finished a bad day on the wrong end of a 1-0 scoreline at the Riverside Stadium.

The result means the rock-bottom Black Cats, who remain 12 points adrift of 17th-placed Hull, could be relegated on Saturday, and prompted sections of the travelling supporters to sing "We want Moyesy out" during the game.
