Sunderland beat Chelsea 1-0

Sunderland defeated Chelsea 1-0 on 8 November. Reaction says Chelsea struggled against Sunderland’s low block; player ratings praise Penders and criticise Palmer and Colwill, while a newsletter questions Alonso’s false-nine choices. VAR audio says a Chelsea penalty appeal was rejected because contact was judged outside the area, a disputed call; no final KMI Panel verdict is established.
