Sunderland 'deserved more' at Brentford - Gabbiadini

[Getty Images] Marco Gabbiadini says Sunderland deserved to win at Brentford after taking the game to their opponents on Saturday . The former Sunderland striker, speaking to Radio Newcastle, believes the Black Cats' attacking approach could have earned them all three points and suggested the result could prove significant when looking back at the end of the season. "If you finish the season in a similar position to what we finished last season and you look back over it, you might look back and think this is one that could have taken us another place up the table," said Gabbiadini. "You can go and draw a game and it can be a bit of a stalemate and you don't take too much risk. I thought Sunderland had a real go on Saturday and really took the game to the opposition and said 'well what are you going to do about it?' "So that means you're committing men forward, you're covering distances, so midfielders are getting into the box. "We saw Noah Sadiki come in late into the box on so many occasions, Thomas Meunier getting in the box. You only get what you deserve usually, if you commit like that, you're going to win more games than you lose." Gabbiadini pointed to Enzo Le Fee's strike hitting the post as an example of Sunderland's threat, while he felt Brian Brobbey could have done more to react to the effort. He added: "I thought Sunderland deserved to win the game - Enzo Le Fee's strike hit the post. I thought Brian Brobbey was a little bit slow to react, as a centre-forward you know, the ball didn't come to him. "You've got to reposition for what's happening next. It was clearly going to be a strike on goal, I think he needed to be ducking out of the way of that. Maybe a little un-sighted, and maybe I'm being a bit harsh but little things like that make a huge difference in a game."
