Sunderland come from behind to beat Rennes in final pre-season friendly

[Getty Images] Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris says his side "imposed ourselves well" to come from a goal down and beat Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes 2-1 in their final pre-season friendly at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. The Black Cats trained 1-0 to a first-half penalty but dominated the second period, turned the game around through goals from Brian Brobbey and Trai Hume. "It was a good second half performance - in line with our standards," Le Bris. "Rennes are a good team, as expected. They're good with the ball and good under pressure. "We made it a bit easy for them in the first half. "We needed to lift the intensity at half-time and we did just that. We imposed ourselves well in the second half. "We had to show more aggressiveness and the second half showed what we can do when we play at high pressure. "The subs made a good impact too - that's a good sign for the season ahead."
