Sunderland halted a four-game Premier League losing streak by holding seventh-place Leeds to a 0-0 draw at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

The bottom-placed hosts made six changes from their midweek Europa League draw with Lech Poznan, while Leeds manager Daniel Farke altered three positions following a 1-1 result against Manchester United. Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey, back from injury, tested Leeds goalkeeper James Trafford twice but could not convert. Trafford also denied Nilson Angulo on multiple occasions.

Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs proved equally busy, stopping efforts from Jaka Bijol, Brenden Aaronson, Muharemovic, Ao Tanaka and Sean Longstaff. Aaronson had an overhead kick scrambled away, while Longstaff saw another attempt blocked late.

Sunderland defender Nordi Mukiele left the match after an incident with teammate Luke O'Nien and was replaced by Omar Alderete. Dominic Calvert-Lewin chased a loose ball with O'Nien before the chance was cleared. Leeds substitutes Anton Stach and Chemsdine Talbi both threatened, with Talbi's strike blocked by Bijol.
