Sunderland 1 Manchester City 2
DEAN WHITEHEAD doesn't usually score goals; in fact he hadn't scored this season - until now.
But having pulled Sunderland level with an exceptional first time volley eight minutes from time, Whitehead and the rest of his team-mates will be frustrated after conceding another late on.
And, with results for Bolton and Fulham also going against the Black Cats, perhaps this relegation fight is not won just yet.
Manager Roy Keane will be privately seething tonight, after watching his players dominate most of a Premier League fixture with City yet end up losing. There will be three elements to that.
Firstly he will be annoyed by his side's failure to convert the numerous chances they had in front of goal.
Secondly he will be amazed by the incredibly poor refereeing display from Leeds official Mike Riley, who somehow awarded a City penalty when Daniel Sturridge tripped over his own legs in the area.
And thirdly, Keane will be riled by the way Sunderland lost this game despite clawing themselves level courtesy of Whitehead's thunderbolt.
Now, with a trip to Newcastle on the agenda next Sunday, perhaps Premier League safety is not assured just yet.
