Chelsea’s afternoon turned sour as Sunderland pulled off a dramatic 2–1 victory at Stamford Bridge. The Blues struck early through Alejandro Garnacho’s fine finish in the fourth minute, but Wilson Isidor levelled midway through the first half after a defensive lapse.

Despite dominating possession, Chelsea failed to convert their chances — and were punished deep into stoppage time when Chemsdine Talbi coolly slotted home to seal a famous win for the visitors.

It was a bitter blow for Enzo Maresca’s side, whose inconsistency continues to haunt them. For newly-promoted Sunderland, however, it was a night to remember — and a statement that they belong in the Premier League.
