REGIS Le Bris admitted Sunderland must learn and grow quickly after their potentially damaging 2-0 defeat at Burnley, emphasising the positives of a strong first-half display, writes CLIVE YOULTON.

Regardless of those positives, though, to come unstuck against their fellow promoted side and to allow them to go level on points was disappointing and shows that a good start to the season does not rest purely on just the opening-day result.

That early bubble was well and truly burst at Turf Moor, while Brentford, Sunderland’s next opponents, also picked up a morale-boosting win.
