Stadium of Light, Sunderland – Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s remarkable scoring streak continued as Leeds United secured a 1-1 draw against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, extending Leeds’ unbeaten run to five games.
The Black Cats took the lead in the 28th minute through Simon Adingra, his first goal for the club, with a well-placed curler after a neat pass from Granit Xhaka. Sunderland had dominated the early stages of the game, with Adingra causing problems for the Leeds defence.
However, Leeds emerged from the break rejuvenated. Just two minutes into the second half, a swift attacking move culminated in Calvert-Lewin slotting home his sixth consecutive goal after being played in by Brenden Aaronson.
The match remained fiercely contested after the equalizer, with both sides creating chances. Leeds goalkeeper Robin Roefs was called into action several times, denying Jaka Bijol and Ao Tanaka, while Trai Hume made a crucial goal-line clearance to deny Leeds. Sunderland responded with efforts from Eliezer Mayenda and Omar Alderete, but neither could find the breakthrough.
The draw maintains Sunderland’s unbeaten home record in the Premier League and keeps them in seventh place in the table. Leeds, meanwhile, remain in 16th.
Sunderland’s manager will be pleased with Adingra’s performance and the team’s resilience, while Leeds will be encouraged by Calvert-Lewin’s prolific form and their second-half resurgence. However, both teams will feel they had opportunities to secure all three points in what was a captivating encounter.
