Europe’s live Premier League updates turn curse for Sunderland

At 4.30pm BST, screens across Europe flickered as the Premier League went live, pitting Sunderland against Leeds Premier League rivals in a match that promised relief but delivered a curse for the Black Cats.

Crystal Palace fell 0‑2 to Newcastle, Hull drew 1‑1 with Brentford, Liverpool beat Brighton 2‑0 and Man Utd were thrashed 0‑3 by Bournemouth. Daniel Harris reacted to another dreadful day for Manchester United, adding his voice to the chorus of disappointment.

The cascade of results leaves the league table in flux, with early‑season hopes hanging for several clubs.
