Calvert-Lewin strikes at Sunderland to make it six successive games he's found the net

- BY REBECCA JOHNSON

DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN equalled a 65-year-old record as his goal grabbed a point for Leeds.

When the forward levelled two minutes after the break at the Stadium of Light, he became the first Leeds player to score in six successive topflight games since John McCole in 1959-60.

His strike got the visitors level after Simon Adingra scored his first goal since arriving on Wearside.

A point keeps Sunderland unbeaten at home in the Premier League this season. They stay seventh in the table, while Leeds stay 16th.

Leeds named an unchanged team following their win over Crystal Palace and Dennis Cirkin made his first appearance of the campaign for Sunderland in place of Dan Ballard, who was not named in the squad.

Adingra had an effort deflected wide in the opening seconds and goalkeeper Lucas Perri scooped up Nordi Mukiele’s header from Granit Xhaka’s (left) cross as Sunderland enjoyed a lively start.
