Martin O'Neill has admitted that he was left "frustrated" by his side's failure to take maximum points from their home encounter with Bolton Wanderers earlier today.
A header from Kevin Davies meant that the Black Cats were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw in front of their own fans at the Stadium of Light.
Reflecting on his side's performance, O'Neill conceded that his side still have "work to do".
"It was frustrating not to win the game," said the Northern Irish boss. "I am disappointed, of course, but I said here a couple of weeks ago that we have work to do. That's not a problem."
This afternoon's result has left Sunderland 11th in the Premier League table.
