"Joe Rodon headed home what appeared to be the opener in the 64th minute but he was ruled offside after video review, having strayed too far forward before Anton Stach struck the free kick. Six minutes later, referee Stuart Atwell headed back to the monitor for another review and ended up pointing to the spot after deciding that Leeds midfielder Ethan Ampadu had handled the ball."
"The victory snaps Sunderland's four-game winless skid and puts the Black Cats (40 points) back up to 11th in the Premier League table. Leeds (31 points) remain 15th, just six perilous points above the relegation zone."
