Sunderland Tops Millwall 1-0, Strengthens Championship Position

Sunderland secured a 1-0 victory over Millwall at the Stadium of Light, with Trai Hume scoring the only goal of the match in the 20th minute from a well-executed corner. Despite having more possession, Millwall struggled to create clear chances, with their best efforts thwarted by Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson. The loss marks Millwall's second consecutive defeat away from home, leaving them six points adrift of the play-off spots in the Championship. Sunderland's defense held strong, and they could have extended their lead, but a late penalty from Luke O'Nien was saved by Millwall's Lukas Jensen. The victory strengthens Sunderland's position in the promotion race, maintaining their grip on fourth place. Millwall will need to regroup quickly as they look to close the gap to the top six with just seven games remaining.
