Sunderland lost their first UEFA Europa League match as their poor run of form continued with a defeat to Dinamo Zagreb at the Stadium of Light on Thursday.

Dinamo Zagreb's goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski celebrated his side's second goal during the match, which ended in a victory for the Croatian visitors.

The result marks Sunderland's first loss in the competition this season and extends a disappointing streak for the English club.
