Sunderland

"One more mistake and 2-0 down. So it's the perfect summary of the afternoon." Régis Le Bris on Sunderland's 2-0 defeat, a goal down in six minutes and with 10 men from the 15th. Le Bris called it hard to take. Robin Roefs: "We just give it away too easily."

A late winner at Torreense gave Sunderland a Europa League win on their first European night in 53 years. Noah Sadiki got it, his first goal for the club, after Granit Xhaka set him up and shouted at him to shoot. "We are not dead," Sadiki said.

"I look back at them days as... the making of days like these." Sunderland's Luke O'Nien rejected comparing the club's Europa League trip to Torreense with the Papa John's Trophy. He called the campaign a privilege Sunderland worked hard for through the League One years.

Sunderland won't commit to Brian Brobbey or Habib Diarra at Torreense in the Europa League. Both travelled, but the club wants "to be sure that they will be available for the season." Thomas Meunier (not a major injury) and Wilson Isidor (Brighton knock) will be reassessed.

Rotation is coming for Sunderland at second-division Torreense in the Europa League, but not wholesale: "it's going to be necessary, required to use the rotation, but also to keep a strong core of the squad." Bournemouth and Poznań follow; depth is said to be improving.
