\"Sunderland<\/p>\n

Sunderland hauled themselves off the bottom of the Premier League as Enzo Le Fee\u2019s penalty earned a huge 1-0 win over Chelsea for embattled boss Regis Le Bris.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman was under pressure after a dismal 2-0 home defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League on Thursday put his position in doubt ahead of an international break.<\/p>\n

Sunderland, though, bounced back for a huge three points thanks to two controversial penalty decisions.<\/p>\n

Chelsea were furious that Cole Palmer was not awarded a spot-kick for a foul by Luke O\u2019Nien moments before the only goal of the game.<\/p>\n

A VAR review deemed the contact made was outside the area and therefore could not be overturned.<\/p>\n

Sunderland were awarded a penalty at the other end 10 minutes before half-time.<\/p>\n

The visitors were again aggrieved that Levi Colwill was adjudged to have fouled Brian Brobbey as both players grappled in their attempt to reach the ball.<\/p>\n

Le Fee dispatched the resulting spot-kick past Mike Penders and Sunderland held on for just a second league win of the season.<\/p>\n

Chelsea missed the presence of Joao Pedro up front as Palmer and Morgan Rogers were kept in check by the home side.<\/p>\n

A fourth defeat in 10 league games under Xabi Alonso leaves the Blues in fifth, two points outside the top four.<\/p>\n
