"Habib Diarra's second-half penalty snatched Sunderland a 1-0 win at Elland Road and dealt Leeds' Premier League survival fight a blow. The Senegal midfielder converted from the spot in the 70th minute as the Black Cats clinched their first win in five league matches and their third on the road this season."
"Leeds missed the chance to put clear daylight between themselves and the bottom three on another frustrating night for their fans, slipping to back-to-back home league defeats after Saturday's loss to Manchester City. Daniel Farke's side remain six points above the bottom three, with relegation rivals West Ham and Nottingham Forest both in action on Wednesday."
Sunderland defeated Leeds 1-0 at Elland Road with a second-half penalty converted by Senegal midfielder Habib Diarra in the 70th minute. This victory marked Sunderland's first win in five league matches and their third away win of the season, allowing them to leapfrog Brighton into 11th place. Leeds, managed by Daniel Farke, suffered their second consecutive home league defeat and remain six points above the bottom three. The loss represents a missed opportunity for Leeds to create distance between themselves and relegation rivals. Sunderland's debutant goalkeeper Melker Ellborg, recently signed from Malmo, featured in the match as Leeds controlled early possession without creating clear scoring opportunities.
