Sunderland remain bottom of the Premier League table after a goalless draw at home to Leeds United on Sunday, extending their winless run to six games. The match at the Stadium of Light was goalless despite several close chances. Brian Brobbey had the best opportunity for the hosts, racing through on goal but having his effort smothered by James Trafford. Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin claimed for a penalty after going down in the area, but VAR cleared the incident, ruling that Robin Roefs got a hand to the ball.
Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris called the point positive, praising his side's intensity and togetherness despite the league position. Defender Luke O'Nien credited the swirling wind, caused by Storm Boelo, for impacting the game, stating it was a good effort from both defences. The point takes Leeds up into seventh place.
Weather warnings were in place across northern England and Scotland for Storm Boelo, with Sunderland under an amber warning. The club advised supporters to take extra care travelling to the ground. Former Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff was twice denied late on, with Roefs tipping one shot wide and another blocked on the line.
