Sunderland reclaimed the top spot in the Championship with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Hull City, thanks to Wilson Isidor's third goal in four matches. The decisive moment in the match came in the 63rd minute when Isidor capitalized on a controversial play that saw Hull's Marvin Mehlem obstructed by the referee, allowing Sunderland to transition quickly from defense to attack. Despite being outperformed at times, Sunderland's defense, led by Chris Mepham, held strong, thwarting Hull's attempts, including a near miss from Chris Bedia who hit the post. The win is seen as pivotal for Sunderland's confidence as they aim for promotion, especially given the intensity of upcoming fixtures against Luton and Oxford. Isidor's performance has drawn comparisons to previous star striker Ross Stewart, indicating his potential to lead the team this season. Fans and players alike celebrated the victory, marking it as a significant moment in their campaign.
