Sunderland U21 0-1 Leeds United U21 highlights: Willy Gnonto goal enough to maintain unbeaten run
FT: Sunderland U21s 0-1 Leeds United U21s
A hard-fought win. Leeds had to really work for that but Gnonto's goal is the difference. Defensive display superb from left-to-right, including 'keeper Klaesson. Attack clicked when it needed to. Ratings to follow.
Perkins, so close
89' Gelhardt played in over the top by Klaesson. He races onto it, and squares to Perkins but it's just overhit. He recovers it and tries to chip back, but Carney gathers.
Leeds sub
81’ Stretcher called but Sutcliffe is okay to hobble off instead. Looks to be left ankle. Charlie Allen replacing him.
