Sunderland's remarkable comeback against Bournemouth highlighted their resilience, according to Regis Le Bris. The Black Cats secured a 3-2 victory at the Stadium of Light, marking their first Premier
League win in four matches. Despite trailing 2-0 early on due to goals from Amine Adli and Tyler Adams, Sunderland fought back with Enzo Le Fee's penalty and Bertrand Traore's goal, before Brian Brobbey netted the winner.
Le Bris expressed his delight at the team's performance, stating, "I'm really happy because coming from 2-0 down and winning is a big achievement. " He praised the team's determination and refusal to give up, emphasising the demanding nature of the league where mistakes are costly. Sunderland's ability to exploit defensive weaknesses was crucial in securing the win.
Brobbey, who scored the decisive goal shortly after being substituted on, acknowledged the unwavering support of Sunderland fans. "We always keep fighting for each other until the very end," he said. He credited the fans as a significant source of motivation, describing them as "the 12th man" who boost players' confidence.
Bournemouth's recent form has been concerning, with no wins in their last four Premier League outings. Their frustration was evident when Lewis Cook received a red card for violent conduct late in the match. Manager Andoni Iraola criticised referee Tim Robinson for losing control of the game during crucial moments.
Iraola reflected on Bournemouth's missed opportunity to secure a win after leading 2-0. He noted that momentum shifted following Sunderland's penalty and subsequent equaliser early in the second half. Iraola admitted that while some decisions were questionable, maintaining composure was essential despite disagreements with officiating.
Sunderland's victory not only showcased their fighting spirit but also highlighted their strong home record this season. The team remains unbeaten at home, bolstered by passionate fan support. As they continue to face tough challenges in an exciting league, Sunderland aims to build on this positive start and maintain their competitive edge throughout the season.
