For the very first time, Sunderland won a Premier League game having been two goals down.
A Sunderland fightback seemed unlikely when the Black Cats were behind and being outplayed inside the first 15 minutes.

By avoiding defeat, Sunderland continued their unbeaten record at home this season and bounced back from their late 1-0 loss away to Fulham last weekend.
Sunderland's home record is so strong they have already collected more points at Stadium of Light this campaign (15) than they did in the whole of their last campaign in the top flight (14 points in 2016-17).
