Sunderland Defeats Hull City 1-0 in Championship

Sunderland secured a 1-0 victory over Hull City, regaining the top spot in the Championship. Wilson Isidor scored the decisive goal after a controversial play involving referee Bobby Madley, who inadvertently obstructed Hull's short corner routine, leading to Sunderland's counter-attack. Despite Hull's attempts, including a shot that hit the bar, they struggled to create opportunities against a solid Sunderland defense. The match marked Sunderland's second consecutive win by the same scoreline at the MKM Stadium. Both teams experienced a subdued start, but Sunderland's pressing and ball control ultimately dictated the game. Isidor's performance suggests he may fill the scoring void left by Ross Stewart's departure.
