Shell-shocked Sunderland boss Steve Bruce insisted he will never walk away from his post despite the home fans turning on him during Saturday's 2-1 home defeat by Wigan.

The Latics ended a run of just one point from nine games with a shock success at the Stadium of Light, courtesy of substitute Franco Di Santo's injury-time winner.

Some Black Cats supporters were already calling for Bruce's head with the score at 1-1, and the vitriol pouring down from the stands in his direction at the final whistle was simply staggering.

**Sunderland sit 16th after 13 matches, just 2 points out of relegation.
