Following Sunderland's 2-1 home win over Cardiff City, manager Regis Le Bris reflected on the game on the Total Sport Sunderland AFC Podcast.
Whilst pleased with the result, he stressed the need for consistency as his side look to climb into the automatic play-off places.
The Black Cats remain fourth and still six points behind Burnley in third and eight adrift of Leeds and Sheffield United but crucially that gap wasn't widened.
"We scored early, which is always a good idea and during the first 20 minutes we were really good with the way we want to play – high pressure, a very pro-active defence and with the ball we were sharp, we were quick and the rhythm was high – we created chances," Le Bris said.
