On this day in 2016, Sam Allardyce’s Sunderland clinched a vital three points with a 3-2 win over Chelsea at the Stadium of Light.

Diego Costa sent the visitors ahead early on, before Wahbi Kahzri’s thunderous volley drew the Black Cats level.

The Blues then went back in front in first-half stoppage-time when Nemanja Matic slotted home.

But two second-half goals from Fabio Borini and Jermain Defoe sealed the comeback, and put the Lads on the brink of Premier League safety.
