Unofficial Champions of England: Leicester City 2-1 Sunderland 01/01/1994

Julian Joachim makes it 2-0 to Leicester

Sunderland had barely three days to enjoy their time as Unofficial Champions of England before they were defending their title again.

On New Years day, the Rokerites travelled to promotion-hunting Leicester City at Filbert Street.
Veteran striker David Speedie opened the scoring with a cross-come-shot from the edge of the box.
Highly rated Julian Joachim weaved his way through the Sunderland defence to make it 2-0.

Sunderland did pull one back with a penalty from Phil Gray but it was too little, too late as Leicester took their place as Champions of England.
