When was the last time Sunderland beat Chelsea?

Newly promoted Sunderland defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday thanks to an injury-time winner from Chemsdine Talbi.

This is the first time in nine years that the Black Cats have beaten the Blues in the competition. The last time Sunderland beat Chelsea in the Premier League was on May 7, 2016.

That match, at the Stadium of Light, ended 3-2 in Sunderland’s favour, with Wahbi Khazri, Fabio Borini and Jermain Defoe finding the net. Diego Costa and Nemanja Matic scored for the visitor.

The win also ends Sunderland’s 14-year winless streak at home to Chelsea. The last time the Black Cats won at Stamford Bridge was on April 19, 2014. Sunderland won that match 2-1 thanks to goals from Connor Wickham and Borini. Samuel Eto’o scored for Chelsea.

With this win, Sunderland have jumped to second place in the Premier League, just two points behind leaders Arsenal.
