"After a good first half, we spoke at half-time and said that it was possible to push a little more because we played well - we just needed the belief that we could score. We were maybe a bit surprised to have controlled the game so we told the players to believe and push more because it was possible to score."
"As expected, the opponent came back into the game with substitutes and the crowd but we defended well and had a chance to score the second goal after their equaliser but it wasn't to be. We always try until the end but it wasn't an easy situation for Wilson. It was a one-vs-one - he gave his best but it wasn't enough."
Sunderland drew 1-1 with Liverpool at Anfield after Chemsdine Talbi put them ahead in the 67th minute and a late Florian Wirtz effort deflected off Nordi Mukiele to equalise. The result left Sunderland sixth in the Premier League, one point clear of Liverpool after 14 games. Sunderland have lost only two of their last 12 top-flight matches, winning five, and now have just one point fewer this season than in their entire 2016-17 top-flight campaign. The team avoided defeat against the previous season's top two in consecutive Premier League games for the first time since May 2014. A stoppage-time chance saw Wilson Isidor denied in a one-vs-one.
