Sunderland secured their first Premier League win since August, defeating Chelsea at the Stadium of Light. Enzo le Fee scored the decisive penalty in the 36th minute, despite the controversial nature of its award. The penalty was awarded after referee Jarred Gillett deemed Levi Colwill had pulled Brian Brobbey, even though both players were grappling as Brobbey approached the goal.
This win, which is Sunderland's second in the league this season but only their sixth in all competitions, provides some relief for manager Regis le Bris, although the team remains in the Premier League's bottom three. Chelsea, on the other hand, suffered their second league loss in three matches, staying fifth in the standings and missing out on a chance to climb into the top four.
