Régis Le Bris can usually do impassive to perfection but, by the final whistle, even Sunderland’s ultra-balanced manager was looking more than a little fed up and frustrated.
His bottom-placed team had arguably just about deserved a second Premier League win of the season but, instead, had to settle for a draw on an afternoon when the hugely disruptive Storm Boelo proved the enemy of good football.
While Daniel Farke will doubtless regard his resilient side’s fifth league draw of the season as a fair return on the windblown road, much now hinges on Sunderland’s visit to Coventry on Saturday.
