Le Bris: Enzo is massive for us, but we have room to improve

Le Fée, who joined the Black Cats permanently from AS Roma this summer after impressing on loan last season, came into the starting XI for Simon Adingra to make his first-ever Premier League start.

The 25-year-old made an immediate impact, scoring Sunderland's equalising penalty before playing the pass to Granit Xhaka, whose cross set up Wilson Isidor’s dramatic stoppage-time winner.

"Massive," Le Bris said when asked about Le Fée's contribution.

"Because he can understand football. He can play on the left, in the midfield - almost three positions, I think - and he can manage different problems in real-time.
