Sunderland boss responds when asked if Leeds United ‘deserved’ win – His response says a lot

Elland Road was becoming tense as Sunderland maintained their 1-0 advantage as the game neared

the final quarter without Leeds attempting to square the scores.

Pascal Struijk emerged as Leeds United’s hero on an evening when the home side was not at their

best against a Sunderland squad that looked every bit the promotion challenger they had been all

season.

However, Leeds found a way to put pressure on the away team in the last minutes of the game,

and Struijk scored two headed goals to secure all three points at Elland Road.

Le Bris and his Sunderland players were heartbroken after going toe-to-toe with Leeds for more

than an hour only to crumble under pressure at Elland Road in the dying moments of the match.

Sunderland are now eight points away from automatic promotion and appear to be out of the race, despite being comfortably situated to finish in the playoffs.

‘We were just not enough against a dominant Leeds United side’ – Sunderland boss

Sunderland demonstrated on Monday night why they have been in the promotion battle this season,

but they faced a Leeds side that is a force at home.

The Whites were not at their best, and the home fans became concerned as the game progressed. However, Leeds found a way to break Sunderland’s hearts in the latter minutes of the game.

Le Bris stated that his team looked better after halftime, but admitted that when Leeds gained momentum at the end, it became increasingly difficult for his players to deal with the pressure.
