Brenden Aaronson, forward for the US men’s national team, was awarded Man of the Match following Leeds United’s 1-1 draw against Sunderland in the Premier League on Sunday. He assisted Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s equalizer just after halftime, marking his third assist in the last seven matches—matching his total from his first 46 appearances with Leeds.
Calvert-Lewin, who has notched eight league goals this season, stands out as the highest-scoring English player. His current form and fitness make a compelling argument for him to be considered as a potential backup for Harry Kane on England’s team for next summer’s World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Sunderland took the lead in the 28th minute thanks to Simon Adingra, who capitalized on Granit Xhaka’s clever pass and struck a right-footed shot into the net. This fixture featured two promoted teams, with Sunderland currently sitting in seventh place this season.
Despite Sunderland’s position, Leeds remains unbeaten in their last five matches and holds a comfortable seven-point cushion above the relegation zone.
