Leeds United v Sunderland Record


Sunderland AFC
Founded: 1879
Ground: Stadium of Light

Sunderland AFC, founded in 1879, is one of England’s traditional footballing powers. They have won six top-flight titles and two FA Cups. The club now plays at the Stadium of Light and retains one of the largest fanbases outside the top flight.

Leeds and Sunderland share a fierce rivalry, most memorably clashing in the 1973 FA Cup Final, which Sunderland won 1-0. The result is considered one of the biggest upsets in English football history.
