The winger helped relieve some of the pressure as Sunderland held out for a crucial clean sheet on Saturday, and played a key part in putting the result beyond doubt when he assisted Ladislav Krejčí's stoppage-time own goal.

It marked the latest in a strong run of cameos for Talbi, who appears to be growing in confidence at Premier League level.

Having held down a regular spot on the right flank through the opening weeks of the season due largely to his industry out of possession, more minutes on the opposite flank have seen his attacking threat grow.
