Sunderland beat Chelsea 1–0 at the Stadium of Light on Sunday in the 10th round of the Premier League.
Le Fée scored from the spot in the 36th minute after Levi Colwill brought down Brian Brobbey, Sky Sports reports. Chelsea wanted a penalty earlier when Cole Palmer went down, but VAR judged the contact outside the area. Sunderland's Granit Xhaka went off injured in the opening minutes.
Sunderland are 19th with 8 points, ending a winless run back to their August win over Fulham, ESPN reports. Chelsea are fifth on 16 after a fourth league defeat. Xabi Alonso said afterward he had "nothing to comment on the referee."
