Sunderland head coach was delighted that his decision to play Eliezer Mayenda instead of Wilson Isidor in the side's win at Sheffield Wednesday.
Young Spaniard Mayenda came in as a replacement for Black Cats top scorer Isidor, who was only a substitute and the teenager came up with both goals in the crucial 2-1 victory.
It got them back on track in the hunt for promotion after successive losses as they ground out three points at Hillsborough.
"Wilson did really well this season and is one of the best strikers in the league, for sure," Le Bris told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"But we need two or three strikers to be competitive in this league so maybe it was the right time for Wilson to recover a little bit and Eliezer was ready.
"He trained properly, he was connected with the team even with less game time and he showed his good qualities this evening."
