"Sunderland came from behind to win it at the death, thanks to an 82nd-minute Enzo Le Fee penalty, followed by a 96th-minute Wilson Isidor effort. The Black Cats have now won both of their first two Premier League home games, doing so for only the second time after first registering the feat in 2001-02. Le Bris, though, knows this was an encounter settled by the finest of margins."
""Three points, another tough game with fine margins," he said. "I think the first half was positive, we controlled this part of the game without creating many chances or scoring, I think it was the main regret of the first half. "Second half was totally different - more chaotic, more open. I'm happy because these two sides of the performance are really important, you can be well-organised and feel that we can control this part. "We know that in the Premier League, some games will be completely open and the way we managed this part was positive.""
Sunderland staged a late comeback to beat Brentford 2-1 at the Stadium of Light, overturning an Igor Thiago opener. Enzo Le Fee converted an 82nd-minute penalty, then Wilson Isidor struck in the 96th minute to seal victory. The Black Cats have won both opening home games of the Premier League season, a feat last achieved in 2001-02. Manager Regis Le Bris cited fine margins, praising first-half control and effective management of an open, chaotic second half. Brentford missed an earlier penalty and suffered their second defeat of the season, with manager Keith Andrews taking some positives despite frustration.
