Brian Brobbey's brilliant finish saw Sunderland beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the Premier League and snap their five-game winless run.

Palace were hopeful of a positive result after a deflating week, which saw the news of Marc Guehi and head coach Oliver Glasner's impending departures follow their shock FA Cup exit last weekend, and things looked good for the Eagles when Yeremy Pino pounced on an error from Robin Roefs to give them the lead after 30 minutes.

However, they were ahead for just three minutes as Enzo Le Fee swept home from Nordi Mukiele's low cross, and the hosts were then in complete control at the Stadium of Light.

Jean-Philippe Mateta did see a goal ruled out for offside before the break, while Trai Hume tested Dean Henderson with a header after half-time.

Regis Le Bris' men eventually got their reward 19 minutes from time, with Brobbey's right-footed finish crashing in off the bar, much to the delight of the home faithful.

Henderson was forced into a brilliant double save in the 90th minute to deny Eliezer Mayenda and Dan Ballard, but Palace did not create any chances at the other end as their winless run extended to 10 games. 

Data Debrief: Black Cats thrive at home again

It was a dominant performance from Sunderland in the end, with the Black Cats producing 1.72 expected goals (xG) from 13 shots to Palace's 0.61 from six attempts, but Le Bris' side found themselves behind in a game again.

Sunderland, however, have won their most points from losing positions in a single Premier League season this term (16), while it’s the most by a newly promoted side in the top-flight since West Brom in 2010-11 (27).

They are also one of just two sides yet to lose at home in the Premier League this season (alongside Arsenal), while the Black Cats have avoided defeat across their opening 11 games on home soil (W6 D5) for the first time in the top-flight since 2000-01 (12 games).
