Sunderland midfielder Adam Johnson feels that his side deserved more from their Premier League clash against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road on Saturday.

A strike from Charlie Austin on the stroke of half time was enough for Harry Redknapp's team to secure the victory, as the Black Cats lost for the first time this season.

Johnson told the club's official website: "A set piece wins the game but I don't think they would have scored in 200 minutes against us unless we gave them a chance like we did, we deserved more but that happens in football and we need to move on.

"It is fine margins and on another day we could have had two or three for an easy result - we have to cut the silly mistakes out because other than that we defended well."

Sunderland have taken two points from their opening three matches in the Premier League this season.
