Leeds United Build-Up Play Leaves Sunderland Defenders Baffled

The visitors came into the match at the Stadium of Light with a sense of determination and purpose, their possession-based style of football seemingly paying dividends as they carved out numerous scoring opportunities. Despite the strong start from the Black Cats, Leeds’ build-up play was consistently impressive, with the visitors able to switch the point of attack seamlessly and exploit Sunderland’s defensive vulnerabilities. It was only a matter of time before the hosts were breached, and it ultimately came through Dominic Calvert-Lewin who levelled the score on 55 minutes after a well-worked team move that had left Sunderland’s defenders at sixes and sevens. The Leeds United players showed great composure in the face of adversity, maintaining their focus throughout the match and continuing to press for more goals as the clock ticked down. In the end, it was not to be, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw that both teams can feel reasonably pleased with.
