Sunderland head coach Chris Coleman was delighted with the comeback, praising how well his team played in the second half.
He told the club website: “It is bizarre, but you get games like that sometimes,”
“There were two stories being told. Our overall intent in the second 45 was much better. We played with a little less fear and rode our luck at the other end.”
“At the other end, we had opportunities where maybe we could’ve scored more goals.”
“I thought in terms of the second 45, our performance and sheer greed, it was “something – the lads were great.”
“Things are said in dressing rooms, but it was down to the players in the second half.”
“They rolled their sleeves up and took it on. We have come away with a hard-earned point.”
“Bristol City are a very, very good team. This club is on the up and they are on the up.”
“To come here and get something it really is something.”
“We did that, we showed character and personality.”
“Most of the teams to get out of relegation dogfights are not necessarily the teams with the best players, it is the teams with a bit of fight. A bit of determination and fight.”
“It is amazing where you can go with that.”
