Sunderland beat Xabi Alonso's Chelsea 1-0 with Le Fée penalty
The bottom side claim their second win of the season and leave Chelsea on 16 points, 11 behind leaders Arsenal, before the international break.
Sunderland beat Chelsea 1-0 at the Stadium of Light under Xabi Alonso's side. The only goal came in the 34th minute from the penalty spot: Brobbey forced the foul by Colwill and Enzo Le Fée converted it. The win lifts Régis Le Bris's team off the foot of the table, their second victory in the Premier League, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Chelsea had chances, such as Morgan Rogers's header in the first half, but in the second half they barely troubled goalkeeper Roefs, even after Estevao came on at the break. Granit Xhaka went off after two minutes and was replaced by Ahoka.
Xabi Alonso left Josh Acheampong out of the squad due to a minor fitness issue and expects him back after the international break. Chelsea stay on 16 points, 11 behind leaders Arsenal.
