sql_thegoals360_Leeds United suffered another frustrating defeat at Elland Road, losing 1-0 to Sunderland on Tuesday night. Despite dominating possession, Daniel Farke’s side failed to capitalize, with Sunderland’s defense holding firm. A Habib Diarra penalty proved the difference, awarded after VAR deemed Ethan Ampadu’s handball a foul.
