Leeds United Tops Sunderland 2-1 with Late Goals

Leeds United achieved a dramatic late victory over Sunderland, with Pascal Struijk scoring twice in the final minutes to secure a 2-1 win at Elland Road. Despite being down 1-0 until the 78th minute, Leeds capitalized on set-piece opportunities, with Struijk's goals coming from well-placed crosses by Joe Rothwell. The win not only sent Leeds back to the top of the Championship table but also highlighted the team's resilience and determination under manager Daniel Farke. Sunderland, who took the lead with a goal from Wilson Isidor, left the match feeling dejected but recognized the positives in their performance, particularly given their young squad. The defeat leaves Sunderland eight points off the automatic promotion places, likely facing a playoff battle as the season progresses. Both teams are now focused on their respective goals for the remainder of the season.
