A late goal from Chemsdine Talbi completes a stunning comeback at Stamford Bridge, lifting the Black Cats to second in the Premier League.
In a breathtaking finish at Stamford Bridge, Sunderland pulled off a stunning 2-1 victory over Chelsea, capped by a stoppage-time winner that sent the visiting fans into delirium. The dramatic result propels the Black Cats to second place in the Premier League table, abruptly halting Chelsea’s four-match winning streak across all competitions.
The dream start for the home side came after just four minutes. A swift counter-attack saw Pedro Neto find Alejandro Garnacho, who burst down the left flank and drilled a low shot through the legs of goalkeeper Robin Roefs to score his first goal for Chelsea.
Sunderland, however, refused to be rattled. They slowly regained their footing and found an equalizer through a moment of chaos. A long throw into the Chelsea box caused a scramble, and Wilson Isidor was quickest to react, poking the ball past Robert Sanchez from close range to level the score.
The match hung in the balance, with both sides creating chances. Chelsea pressed hard towards the end of the first half, but Sunderland’s defense, organized in a rare back-five formation, held firm.
As the clock ticked into stoppage time, substitute Brian Brobbey became the hero. He expertly held up the ball under pressure before laying it off for fellow substitute Chemsdine Talbi, who swept a clinical finish into the net to seal a famous victory for the visitors.
The win extends Sunderland’s impressive unbeaten away record against London clubs to 14 matches. For Chelsea, the late collapse is a devastating blow, seeing them drop to seventh in the table, now looking up at a surging Sunderland side three points ahead.
