The superb photos of Sunderland fans as 41,769 watch dramatic Leeds United clash in Championship

Sunderland faced Leeds United in the Championship at the Stadium of Light on Friday - and our cameras were there to capture the action

Sunderland snatched a quite incredible point in the 97th minute to protect their unbeaten home record in the Championship this season.

The Black Cats were seconds away from defeat when a remarkable error from Leeds United Illan Meslier secured a 2-2 for Regis Le Bris’s side. Goals from Joel Piroe and Junior Firpo looked to have overturned Chris Rigg’s early goal and secured the win for Leeds, but a late free kick in the end helped the hosts escape with a point.

Here, though, we take a look at the best photos of fans enjoying the game at the Stadium of Light on Friday:
