Sunderland boss, Regis le Bris speaking to Sky Sports: "No compromise with our identity. I think we are really proud to play our football. We went toe-to-toe with one of the best sides in Europe today.

"We created many chances and any small error or mistake gets punished at this level. This is the reality of the Premier League and we have to learn.

"The team is really resilient and the belief is high about our qualities and the way we can hurt the opponents. We are a bit frustrated because we came here with the belief to win.

"We are happy with the squad, with the mentality and with the way we're playing. Obviously we knew it was a tough start against many strong teams so it's not a surprise to have four points after five games."

On Brian Brobbey's hat-trick: "It's really positive for a striker, when you don't score it's still possible to tell the story differently but for us it is really clear that he is a good striker and he's getting better game after game. It's just a question of time."

On Elliot Anderson's potential handball in the penalty area: "It was hard to see that as not a handball. It is what it is and we have to accept the decision. It's hard to comment."
