Sunderland eventually succumbed to their first home defeat of the Gus Poyet era despite netting three times during a topsy-turvy clash with Chelsea.
After going ahead early on thanks to Jozy Altidore’s first league goal from the club, Sunderland came from behind to level when skipper John O’Shea netted in the 50th minute following first-half strikes from Frank Lampard and Eden Hazard.
Hazard – who produced a fine individual display – then gave Chelsea a 3-2 lead before a late Phil Bardsley own goal looked to have put Sunderland on the canvas.
