Milan vs Inter and is looking to catch Chelsea in the
Premier League table.
Yann M'Vila has described playing for Sunderland against
Newcastle as even better than the Milan derby.
The on-loan Rubin Kazan midfielder made his Wear-Tyne derby
debut last Sunday as Sam Allardyce's side ran out 3-0 winners
against their fierce local rivals.
And M'Vila says the atmosphere of the occasion helped to make
it the best game he has played in throughout his career so far.
"It was magnificent. It was the best match that I've ever played
in," he told the Sunderland Echo.
"I was involved in the Milan derby last season between Inter and
AC, which is rated as one of the biggest games in the world.
"But it didn't have the same atmosphere as this one. Sunday
was simply extraordinary, magnificent.
"Everyone had told me what to expect, but the supporters were
truly fantastic, and of course we scored three times in front of
our home crowd
"It was a pleasure to play in such a game. And for our morale,
that win was very, very important."
The victory was Sunderland's first in the Premier League this
season and M'Vila wants them to build some momentum to
catch the sides above them in the table - including reigning
champions Chelsea.
"We've only had 10 matches and there is still so much of the
season to go," M'Vila said.
"It's not a problem that we're in the relegation zone at this time
because the teams above us are not far away.
"I looked the other day and Chelsea are only five points ahead.
Not 10, five.
"We just have to gain the maximum from each match that we
can."
