It's time to get back to work for Black Cats
The Chronicle

SUNDERLAND boss Regis Le Bris insisted his players are “ready to work” again following their derby-day victory over Newcastle.
The Black Cats extended their unbeaten Wear-Tyne derby run to 10 league games with a 1-0 win at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.
Jubilant scenes post-match showed Sunderland players celebrating in the ground and gathering for a group picture on the pitch, mimicking the one taken by Newcastle following their 3-0 win on Wearside in the FA Cup last year.
Le Bris revealed that while his side enjoyed the celebrations, the focus is now on today’s game at Brighton.
He said: “We felt the energy of the stadium, it was really impressive on Sunday so it was shared. You just have to enjoy it, it’s a really short period, but the emotion was really positive.
