Sunderland manager, Regis Le Bris, speaking to BBC Match of the Day after their 2-2 draw with Arsenal: "The lads worked hard to the end. They believed it was possible to change the dynamic. It was a tough game, as we expected. They are probably one of the best teams in Europe. We struggled, but we still believed it was possible to score one more goal.

"Our fans helped a lot. We showed before that it was possible [to score late goals], so now we have this faith, this belief that until the final whistle, anything is possible.

"We were on the edge sometimes, but we're a new squad, we're young. We felt their pressure, their intensity. We felt the quality. We were on the edge during the second half.

"We tried to find the details to win the game. They're really strong on set pieces, but we're good as well. This was really important for this game, and it was balanced."

On Brian Brobbey: "We have many good options coming off the bench. So far, some of them haven't played a lot but were still connected with the squad. Brian worked hard after Wilson [Isidor], because Wilson started well. It's a reward for working hard."

On Sunderland's start: "For our fans, they deserve to look to the future with positive vibes. As a manager and coaching staff, we still want to improve our team, so we analyse. It was a good opportunity to do that and to improve the squad later."
