Sunderland vs Leeds United. Premier League. Report and free match highlights as Sunderland draw 0-0 with Leeds at the Stadium of Light; Brian Brobbey missed a big chance for the hosts; Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s penalty claim was waved away; Sunderland remain bottom of the table, Leeds climb into seventh Sunderland remain bottom of the Premier League table after a 0-0 draw against Leeds at home extended their winless run in the top-flight to six games. Brian Brobbey, featuring for the first time since September 20, came closest to breaking the deadlock but had his effort quickly smothered by James Trafford after racing through on goal in the first half.
Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin was a doubt heading into the fixture but started the game. A risk, by Daniel Farke’s own admission, which almost paid off when he went down in the area but claims for a penalty were quickly waved away. VAR checked and cleared the incident and decided Robin Roefs got a hand to the ball, despite the Leeds forward getting to the ball first. Former Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff, who was greeted by boos at the Stadium of Light, was twice denied in the latter stages after Roefs tipped one shot wide and the other was blocked on the line.
The draw means Regis Le Bris’ side remain bottom of the table, while a point takes Leeds up into seventh.
