Daniel Bentley highlighted three Sunderland players who caused Brentford the most trouble on Saturday, following a 3-3 draw, writes Mark Ritson.

For the neutral, it was a ding-dong of a battle at Griffin Park and certainly value for money.

The Black Cats had only won once on the road so far this campaign, but certainly didn't look like a side struggling at the bottom in the first period.

"Lewis Grabban is a good player and he was difficult to handle all afternoon," Bentley told Get West London.

"He's clever, he jumps early with centre-halves with balls over the top and always on the shoulder and looking to get in behind. He had a presence and caused us some issues.

"They also had Duncan Watmore and Callum McManaman as thorns in our side, but I felt we did well on the whole to nullify them apart from that short, bad spell we had.

"Those guys stood out for them."
