Leeds United tops Sunderland 2-1 in thrilling finish

Leeds United secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Sunderland at Elland Road, with Pascal Struijk scoring a stoppage-time winner after equalizing in the 78th minute. Leeds manager Daniel Farke described the win as 'the best you can have in football,' highlighting the emotional reward for supporters and players alike. The victory allowed Leeds to reclaim the top spot in the league, extending their unbeaten run to 15 matches. Farke noted that while Sunderland provided a tough challenge, his team's tactical adjustments and nearly 70% possession made the win well-deserved. Despite the celebration, Farke faces a potential touchline ban for running onto the pitch during the goal celebration. He expressed uncertainty about the fairness of receiving a yellow card in such a context.
