SEASON 2025/26
ENGLISH FA PREMIER LEAGUE
Venue: STADIUM OF LIGHT
SUNDERLAND 1 LEEDS UNITED 1
Scorers: Adingra; Calvert-Lewin
Attendance: 46,675
My second trip to Sunderland this season and the first time seeing Leeds since 2007!
As the kick off was 2pm, it meant an early start leaving just after 8am to make it down from central Scotland in plenty of time.
Another bumper crowd with the away fans in fine voice from kick off and throughout the match.
Leeds had most of the possession and majority of the chances especially in the second half, however Sunderland created the best of the chances in the first 45 minutes plus the five minutes added on. They took the lead midway through the half and could and should have doubled their lead on the stroke of half time but the effort only hit the top of the bar.
They soon rued the miss as Leeds scored a super equaliser at the start of the second half. A great passing move that involved the whole team. Leeds controlled the remainder of the match but couldn't convert their dominance into any more goals.
Overall a draw was just about the right result.

Personal note:
- A new fixture to add to the list and now totals 435
- Second visit to Stadium of Light this season and no. 33 in total
- Overall the 51st time seeing Sunderland and the 5th time seeing Leeds
