Sunderland lost 3-5 away against Manchester City. After the match, manager Regis Le Bris told Sky Sports that his team did not abandon its playing style against such a strong opponent and faced one of the best teams in Europe head-on.

Le Bris said: "We will not compromise on our football philosophy. I think we managed to stick to our own style of play, which makes us very proud. Today, we faced one of the best teams in Europe head-on."

"We created many chances, but at this level, any small mistake will be punished. This is the reality of the Premier League, and we must learn from it."

On his team's performance, Le Bris said: "This team is very resilient, and we are very confident in our abilities and the way we threaten opponents. We are a bit disappointed because we came here believing we could win the match."

"We are satisfied with our current squad, the team's mentality, and the way we play. We know the early season fixture list is very demanding, with many strong teams, so getting four points from the first five matches is not surprising."

Commenting on Elliot Anderson's performance in the match, Le Bris said: "For a striker, this is certainly very positive. When a striker isn't scoring, you can still evaluate his performance from other angles. But for us, it's always very clear that he is a good striker and improving from match to match; it's just a matter of time."

Regarding the controversial handball incident involving Elliot Anderson in the penalty area, Le Bris said: "It's hard to say it wasn't a handball. But that's how it is, and we have to accept the decision. It's very difficult to say more about it."
