Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris praised his squad's performance after their 1-1 draw at Brentford in the Premier League, describing the opening half as among the finest his side have produced in the top flight.

Despite his satisfaction with the first-half display, Le Bris could not hide his disappointment at failing to convert a strong performance into a victory, with Sunderland walking away from the Brentford Community Stadium with just a single point.

The result leaves Sunderland reflecting on what might have been, as Le Bris acknowledged the missed opportunity to claim all three points against their Premier League opponents.
