- Sunderland drew 0-0 with Leeds United at the Stadium of Light on 25 October 2026, extending their winless top-flight run to six games.
- Brian Brobbey featured for Sunderland for the first time since 20 September, racing through on goal in the first half before James Trafford smothered his effort.
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin started for Leeds United despite being a doubt, a risk Daniel Farke acknowledged; VAR cleared his penalty claim after deciding Robin Roefs had got a hand to the ball.
- Sean Longstaff was denied twice in the latter stages, with Robin Roefs tipping one shot wide and blocking the other on the line.
- Sunderland confirmed the match would go ahead just over four hours before kick-off and advised supporters to take extra care, with an amber wind warning in force until 9pm Sunday.
- Leeds United climbed into seventh place on the point earned by the draw, while Regis Le Bris’ Sunderland side remained bottom of the Premier League table.
Why it matters: The point Leeds United earned lifted them into seventh, whereas Sunderland’s sixth consecutive game without a win left them bottom. Calvert-Lewin’s penalty claim was waved away and Roefs’ saves denied Longstaff twice, with Brobbey also failing to convert Sunderland’s clearest chance in the 0-0.
