Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle following his side's penalty shootout victory at Everton: “It was a long game, maybe we should have won before [the match went to penalties] because it wasn’t a good decision to award Everton’s penalty [in normal time].
"But we were ready for the fight and we showed great composure on the ball as well.
"Finally, extra-time, we showed good control once again, and the penalty shootout – [it was] the shortest of my life – so I'm happy."
On Enzo Le Fee: “He was ill, so it shows great character and I think it’s part of the process.
"If you take responsibility, you make mistakes [regarding Le Fee's missed penalty v Brentford] – a wrong decision, but today he did well.
"He is committed and ready to fight for the squad and I am happy for him."
