PL: Sunderland beat Chelsea for first league win since August

Sunderland held on to their first Premier League win since August as Enzo le Fee's penalty helped the hosts sink Chelsea at the Stadium of Light.

Le Fee sent Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders the wrong way from the spot in the 36th minute.

But the awarding of Sunderland's penalty was controversial, with referee Jarred Gillett adjudging Levi Colwill to have pulled Brian Brobbey to the floor - despite both players grappling one another as Brobbey was driving towards goal.

Sunderland's win, just their second in the league this season but sixth in all competitions, will ease pressure on manager Regis le Bris - although his side remain in the Premier League's bottom three.

Chelsea, meanwhile, lost their second league match in three and stayed fifth, missing out on a chance to break into the top four.
