Sunderland players were frustrated with defeat at Reading.

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill said after the game that he was disappointed his side had lost at the Madejski Stadium and midfielder Jack Colback echoed his manager's views.

"The winning goal was difficult to take, especially after we'd just had a couple of chances ourselves," Colback said.

"I don't think it was a great game. Reading are fighting for their lives and it was always going to be tough.

"We had some opportunities - Alfie [N'Diaye] went through on the keeper, who then made a good save on Danny [Graham] - so to lose it after that was very disappointing."
