The 19-year-old struck 18 minutes from time to seal victory over Norwich and keep the Black Cats firmly in the race for automatic promotion.
Boss Le Bris said: “Jobe is so powerful. He wants to affect the game and he has the good quality to do it, so it’s not a big surprise for us.”
Bellingham’s 72nd-minute strike proved decisive after Dan Ballard had cancelled out Anis Ben Slimane’s opener.
Le Bris was not happy with his side’s first-half display, but grateful for the character they displayed to fight their way back once again.
