Sunderland sealed their third win of the campaign when they beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground on Saturday, taking them to an impressive early points haul of 11 from six games.

Talbi says the team believe they can compete in every game and have shown they are aiming for a win week in, week out.

"We are consistently in every game, we know what we need to do," Talbi said.

"And we know that we can take points everywhere, which we did here. We have the team for it. Like I say, we can take points everywhere, even away home.

"We showed great mentality here, even if it was not our best game. But I think there will be games like this, and we can use free-kicks, everything. And we took the three points."
