SUNDERLAND 1-0 CHELSEA! CONTROVERSIAL PENALTY HANDS BLACK CATS FIRST LEAGUE WIN SINCE AUGUST

Sunderland secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Chelsea at the Stadium of Light, recording their first Premier League win since August and easing pressure on manager Regis Le Bris.

Enzo Le Fée scored the decisive goal in the 36th minute, calmly converting a controversial penalty after referee Jarred Gillett ruled that Chelsea defender Levi Colwill had pulled Brian Brobbey down inside the penalty area.

The penalty decision sparked debate, with both players appearing to grapple as Brobbey drove towards goal. However, Le Fée made no mistake from the spot, sending goalkeeper Mike Penders the wrong way.

The victory, Sunderland’s second in the league this season and sixth across all competitions, keeps them in the bottom three. Chelsea, meanwhile, suffered their second league defeat in three matches and remain fifth, missing the opportunity to break into the top four.
