Lukas Nmecha's first-half goal was enough for Leeds United to beat Sunderland in New Jersey and record their first win of pre-season. Nmecha caught Black Cats goalkeeper Melker Ellborg off guard with a low effort from outside the box. Whites boss Daniel Farke gave winger Harry Wilson his first start in a Leeds shirt after his free transfer from Fulham, while Sunderland counterpart Regis le Bris welcomed a selection of World Cup players back into the team, with striker Brian Brobbey being named in the starting XI.
A marked change in Chelsea's approach to recruitment has been amplified by prospective deals for veterans Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson. Welbeck will become the oldest signing under the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital ownership, until Henderson's likely arrival with the west Londoners. After interest in Sunderland's Granit Xhaka did not materialise into a deal, attention pivoted to other targets as part of new manager Xabi Alonso's drive to add experience to Chelsea's squad, which has been the youngest in the Premier League for the past two seasons.
