00:00Sunderland returned to Premier League action after the international break with a 2-0 victory
00:05over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Stadium of Light,
00:08thanks to goals from Nori Mukili and an own goal from Wolves defender Ladislav Krejci.
00:14Regis Labrice, the Sunderland head coach, described the victory as an important win
00:18following the full-time whistle, with his side now on 14 points in the Premier League table.
00:24I think it's an important win, a tough win.
00:31I think we started well.
00:32I'm really pleased with the first half.
00:35It was like expected.
00:37We had our game plan, the way to manage their press.
00:41We created chances, generated strong momentum.
00:46We scored once, which was positive.
00:48But my regret is we didn't score the second goal.
00:53And I think it's normal to expect after this first half a reaction from our opponent.
01:01And they did well during the second half, so it was totally different.
01:04But we defended together, showed this togetherness again,
01:09this ability to suffer together and kept this in clean sheet, which is positive.
01:13And Middlesbrough's 2-1 win at the Riverside Stadium over Ipswich Town in the Championship
01:18left Rob Edwards feeling elated.
01:21Yeah, elated, really, really pleased, really proud of the lads.
01:26A really good night for the football club.
01:28Fans were brilliant, great atmosphere.
01:31I thought a really good advert just for football, not just the Championship, whatever.
01:34I thought for football, I thought it was a really good game.
01:36You mentioned a really good advert for football, those final ten minutes of the first half.
01:39It helped us get the chances at both ends.
01:41What was your view of that from the touchline?
01:42Yeah, I thought we were having a right good go, we're mixing it with a really good team
01:45and we're looking every bit as good at that moment.
01:48Alex Palmer made some incredible saves.
01:51I thought we were playing well.
01:53And Sol obviously came up with a huge moment then with a penalty.
01:57I haven't seen it back.
01:58Was it a pen?
01:59You can be honest, what do you think?
02:00I'll get Brits having a word with you later on.
02:02So, yeah, we had to defend, you know, we sold it amazing.
02:06And then a couple of minutes later then to be going with a break 1-0 up.
02:10Moments, yeah, big, big, big moments for us in those couple of minutes.
02:13But I thought we deserved it.
