Leeds United loan watch as Joe Gelhardt earns praise for role in Sunderland's win at West Brom

Leeds United loanee Joe Gelhardt was singled out for praise during Sunderland's comeback victory at West Brom. The Black Cats remain in contention for playoff spot with a 2-1 win at the Hawthorns on Sunday, courtesy of a brace from Dennis Cirkin.

Gelhardt played 77 minutes of the win which lifts Tony Mowbray's side into the top six, and proved a constant menace as he drew regular fouls from Albion defenders. Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman hailed one passage of play which resulted in a yellow card for Okay Yokuslu as 'brilliant', while also suggesting the 20-year-old might be 'breaking records' for the amount of fouls drawn.

Elsewhere, Daniel James was obviously ineligible to feature against his parent club as Fulham eased to a 2-1 victory over the Whites on Saturday. Diego Llorente will hope to keep his place in the starting eleven as AS Roma return to Serie A action on Monday night against Atalanta.
