Sunderland remain bottom of the Premier League after drawing 0-0 at home against Leeds.

Sunderland remain bottom of the Premier League table after a 0-0 draw against Leeds at home on Sunday, extending their winless run in the top flight to six games. Brian Brobbey, returning to the side for the first time since September, came closest to breaking the deadlock when he raced through on goal in the first half, but James Trafford saved with his leg.

Leeds' Dominic Calvert-Lewin started despite a bruised foot and had penalty claims waved away after going down in the area. VAR reviewed the incident and found goalkeeper Robin Roefs had made contact with the ball. Sean Longstaff came close for Leeds in the latter stages but was twice denied.

The Guardian noted that Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris appeared frustrated by the outcome, suggesting his bottom-placed team had probably deserved victory. Sky Sports reported that Storm Boelo, which saw an amber wind warning in place at Sunderland until 9pm, disrupted play throughout. The draw leaves Sunderland bottom while Leeds move up to seventh. Sunderland face Coventry next on Saturday.
