Keith Andrews did not hide his frustration after seeing his Brentford side suffer [a last-gasp defeat to newly-promoted Sunderland](https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2025/0830/1530973-premier-league-round-up-sunderland-stun-bees-late-on/) in the Premier League on Saturday.
A game of few clear-cut chances saw Brentford have a goal disallowed in the first half and miss a penalty after the break before a dramatic final 15 minutes unfolded at the Stadium of Light..
Igor Thiago put the Bees ahead in the 77th minute, but their lead was short-lived as Enzo Le Fee levelled from the penalty spot five minutes later.
Another twist was left to come in stoppage time as substitute Wilson Isidor headed home the winner in the sixth-minute of time added on as Sunderland clinched a 2-1 win.
"Bitterly disappointing, the nature of it, the timing, clearly," former Republic of Ireland midfielder Andrews said of the outcome for his side.
"Probably not a fair result, but football sometimes isn't fair. It's dependent on key moments within games and there was a few in there today, clearly.
"Just disappointed we didn't manage those last few minutes a little bit better, a few too many bodies ahead of the ball.
"Very understanding of what this game would be like. I've been coming to this football club as a player and observer for many years. I'm well aware of what that can bring, that emotion.
"I thought in the main we dealt with it very well, we're just probably a little bit disappointed with how we didn't manage those few key moments."
