Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored for a sixth consecutive English Premier League game as Leeds United denied Sunderland a place in the top five with a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light on Dec 28.

Simon Adingra fired the Black Cats into a halftime lead, but the inform Calvert-Lewin levelled early in the second period to pull Leeds further clear of the relegation zone.

On his form, the 28-year-old told Sky Sports: “It’s just nice. Everything feels quite fluid at the moment and, as I said before, I’m getting in the right areas and players are finding me.

“I think it’s taken a little bit of time for players around me to learn my game and what I’m good at - but I like to think when I get service, I’m lethal in the box...

“It is something that when you find a good rhythm and a good momentum, the timing seems to come with it.
