"We can do better, I always look at us," Brentford boss Keith Andrews said in his post-match press conference."I wasn't bowled over with the officiating today, though, which I rarely say. "I don't tend to go on about officials too much. I will talk myself into trouble but I didn't like the flow of the game; there were incidents where it was not under control."

A point marked a fair return for both sides in a game where momentum swung in favour of both teams at different stages of the contest.Sunderland, who switched to a back five for this fixture, had started the better side and came close to an opener in the first half after Dan Ballard's goal was disallowed following a lengthy VAR review and Le Fee hit the post with a fierce strike from range."It is a shame," Regis Le Bris said after the game regarding Ballard's goal, which was ruled out due to debutant Kevin Danso being offside. "If you need four and a half minutes to make a decision, it means you are hesitating."Half-time changes from Keith Andrews - replacing Michael Kayode, Mamadou Sangare and Dango Ouattara with Aaron Hickey, Yehor Yarmoliuk and Anthony - inspired fresh impetus going forward.Their unbeaten start to the season continues but marks the second consecutive week the Bees have squandered a lead late on and were forced to settle for a point following the 1-1 at Leeds United last time out.

In the first half, we didn't hit the levels we had. The way they played was very good."We were a little bit off it and in the second half we did the basics very well. It allowed us to have control and more territory; we looked more like us and got ourselves in front."There were then decisions that went for us and did not go for us."I knew it would be a very difficult game today. It was a proper game. If I am in the stand and watching from afar, it is what the Premier League is all about. Going toe-to-toe with a good team and good coach."Le Bris: We dominated but Brentford switched the momentumSunderland boss Regis Le Bris:"First half, we were dominant and created four big chances in the first 30 minutes."We managed this part of the game but didn't score. It is always a big shame."They changed three players and it switched the momentum. They scored but the lads were still in the game."We know we are good when we are behind.
