Sunderland left west London with a fully-deserved point, and the draw at Brentford felt like another useful marker of how far the Lads come over the past 12 months. Enzo Le Fée’s late penalty cancelled out Vitaly Janelt’s second-half opener, but the scoreline could so easily have been very different.

Following last season’s struggles against Fulham, with the Cottagers completing the double over Sunderland, the Black Cats’ first home game of the new campaign was never going to be an easy task.
