Sunderland remain bottom of the Premier League, despite ending a run of four successive league defeats with a 0-0 draw against Leeds United.

In blustery conditions at the Stadium of Light, neither side created many clear opportunities to score.

Sunderland had the only two shots on target during a goalless first half, with returning striker Brian Brobbey twice denied by Leeds goalkeeper James Trafford.

The England international also kept out two second-half shots from the edge of the area by Nilson Angulo.

Leeds' best moments in attack came after the interval, with Robin Roefs stopping a Tarik Muharemovic header from a corner and Ao Tanaka's low drive from just outside the box.

Roefs also denied substitute Sean Longstaff in the 90th minute to preserve a point for the hosts, while a couple of goalmouth scrambles in Sunderland's box during stoppage time eventually came to nothing.

Leeds' fifth draw in eight league matches leaves them seventh in the table, while Sunderland are two points adrift of 17th-placed Crystal Palace.

Hull City drew for the third successive home game in the Premier League as they were held to 1 all by Brentford.

The Tigers took the lead in the first half after they were awarded a penalty when Aaron Hickey fouled Tim Iroegbunam, with Brentford making a mess of playing out from the back. Oli McBurnie stepped up to fire home from the spot.

But Brentford pushed for the equaliser and were deservedly level in the 63rd minute when Dango Ouattara took advantage of poor defending to strike from close range.

That mobilised Hull into action once more and they had the better opportunities to grab the winner in the remainder of the game.

Mohamed Belloumi showed good feet inside the box to create space, but sent his shot into the side-netting while Mohamed-Ali Cho's low strike was kept out by the foot of Caoimhin Kelleher.

But there was to be no winning goal as Hull secured a point that maintains their unbeaten start at home in the Premier League, while for Brentford they remain undefeated on the road so far this campaign.

Brentford are sixth in the standings following this result, while Hull are 10th.

I’m wondering if we could adapt the Hull City kit for a new Wests Tigers jumper. Just thinking laterally !
