Millwall 1-1 Sunderland: Substitute Femi Azeez scores added-time equaliser for Lions

Millwall boss Neil Harris speaking to BBC Radio London:

“It’s 41 minutes [when the players came off] and that’s almost a half-time team talk, but you don’t know how long you’re going to be in there for.

“I had my say after 41 minutes, I was very composed because we knew we were going back out for five minutes – and then at half-time I let them have it properly, because that’s what it deserved.”

On Millwall’s substitutions: “Sometimes just [throwing] caution to wind. When you’re behind sometimes you can do that.

“We were trying to get five players against their back four, trying to overload the midfield area and you just hope that you get a moment of quality and we had that.”

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle:

“I liked the first half with such a young team in such a tough place to play. We did well and we could have scored more because we had many situations to exploit.

“During the second half, [it] was more difficult because they used their direct play. We struggled with the second ball to escape the pressure.

“The scenario is difficult to digest but in the second half they deserved to score at least one goal, so it’s not a big surprise [that they equalised] – but over the game I think we deserved the point and probably, with that scenario, we could have won.”
