Sunderland’s European Home Record: A Proud Tradition to Protect

Sunderland, currently sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table, is facing a challenging season as they navigate through their Europa League fixtures. The team's first Europa League match ended in a 1-0 victory against AZ Alkmaar, thanks to a penalty kick by Enzo Le Fée, who has now scored 100% of Sunderland's home goals in European competition.

As Sunderland aims to turn the tide and avoid relegation, the team is also preparing for their upcoming matches against Chelsea and an international break.
