Sunderland 2 Luton 1: Highlights as Trai Hume and Amad Diallo goals give Cats lead in play-off semi-final

Goals from Amad and Trai Hume gave Sunderland a 2-1 lead over Luton in the first leg of the Championship play-off semi-final.

Sunderland beat Luton 2-1 in the first leg of their play-off semi-final at the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats fell a goal down in the 11th minute when Elijah Adebayo converted from close range after a Hatters corner.

Sunderland drew level before half-time, though, with Amad scoring an excellent equaliser following Alex Pritchard’s short free-kick.

The hosts then took the lead midway through the second half when Trai Hume headed home Jack Clarke’s cross.

It means Sunderland will take a lead into Tuesday’s second leg at Kenilworth Road.
