Sunderland AFC Under-21s picked up all three points on the road with victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League 2.
Tommy Watson's first half strike from the edge of the area opened the scoring. Tawanda Chiwera's low drive on 70 minutes levelled the contest. Marshall Burke came off the bench to seal the tie at the Aggborough Stadium.
A quick start from the Black Cats saw Watson strike after just six minutes. Caden Kelly drove at the heart of the Wolves defence before finding Michael Spellman on the far side, his resulting lay-off was brilliantly dispatched by the 18-year-old.
The Lads continued to dominate with chances aplenty. Kelly came close a few moments after the restart with an effort on the edge of the area that Jimmy Storer tipped around the post.
Graeme Murty's side went close again just five minutes later as Trey Ogunsuyi's back-post header went narrowly wide.
The hosts were level with 20 minutes to play as Chirewa picked up the ball on the edge of the area before striking past Adam Richardson.
Victory was confirmed on 83 minutes as the ball bounced around the area before Burke's low-driven effort from 20 yards out found the bottom corner.
The Black Cats climb to eighth in the table ahead of next week's home fixture against Middlesbrough.
