Sunderland hauled themselves off the bottom of the Premier League as Enzo Le Fee’s penalty earned a huge 1-0 win over Chelsea for embattled boss Regis Le Bris.
The Frenchman was under pressure after a dismal 2-0 home defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League on Thursday put his position in doubt ahead of an international break.
Sunderland, though, bounced back for a huge three points thanks to two controversial penalty decisions. Chelsea were furious that Cole Palmer was not awarded a spot-kick for a foul by Luke O’Nien moments before the only goal of the game. A VAR review deemed the contact made was outside the area and therefore could not be overturned. Sunderland were awarded a penalty at the other end 10 minutes before half-time.
