A second-half penalty from Habib Diarra gave Sunderland a crucial 1-0 win over Leeds United at Elland Road.
The decisive moment came when referee Stuart Attwell awarded a handball penalty against Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu after a VAR review. Diarra’s spot-kick was poorly struck but bounced off goalkeeper Karl Darlow and into the net.
Leeds had earlier seen a Joe Rodon header ruled out for offside and struggled to create clear chances, leaving their Premier League survival hopes dented.
