Jermain Defoe’s 18th goal of the season blasted Sunderland out of the Premier League relegation zone as 10-man Chelsea twice squandered the lead on Wearside.
The victory, which was just a third in 15 games for the Black Cats, saw them
climb above derby rivals Newcastle, who could only draw at relegated Aston Villa, and means a home win over Everton on Wednesday evening will keep them up.
Norwich’s home defeat by Manchester United in the early kick-off handed relegation rivals Sunderland and the Magpies the perfect incentive ahead of kick-off with Sam Allardyce’s men knowing Wednesday’s game in hand could prove key if they were to emerge from their clash with the Blues with something to show for their efforts.
