Tony Mowbray says Sunderland gave a good account of themselves over their two games against Premier League Fulham, despite exiting the FA Cup at the fourth round stage. The Black Cats drew 1-1 against the Londoners at Craven Cottage, but lost out 3-2 in the replay on home soil.
Harry Wilson gave the visitors an early lead with sub Andreas Pereira doubling their advantage on the hour. Jack Clarke pulled one back before Layvin Kurzawa restored Fulham's two-goal advantage, and while Jewison Bennette scored right at the death it came too late for Sunderland to force an equaliser.
"I think there was an opportunity for us tonight," said Mowbray. "Even at 1-0 down, I thought we could get the next goal and they would rock and I could see us nicking it.
