Tony Mowbray's verdict after Sunderland's draw at Watford caps a productive week on the road

Tony Mowbray is happy with Sunderland's four-point haul after two tough away games - but feels the Black Cats could have been celebrating back-to-back wins on the road. Sunderland beat high-flying Reading 3-0 in midweek and followed that with a 2-2 draw against a Watford side expected to be pushing for promotion after they dropped out of the Premier League last season.

The Black Cats twice came from behind against the Hornets at Vicarage Road, but Mowbray says his side created enough opportunities to win the game, pointing to a goal that was ruled out for a tight offside decision, two penalty appeals that were waved away, and a gilt-edged chance missed by sub Leon Dajaku. "Four points on the road against two clubs, one with very big expectation to do well and the other that had started the season really well, it's been a very good week for us," said Mowbray.

"We'll take the four points. The lads were a bit disappointed with some of the decisions, to be honest.
