A dramatic encounter at Stamford Bridge saw Sunderland snatch a 2-1 victory against Chelsea, leaving the home fans stunned. The newly-promoted Black Cats displayed resilience and determination, coming from behind to secure a memorable win and move up to second place in the Premier League.

Chelsea got off to a flying start, with Alejandro Garnacho netting his first goal for the club in the 4th minute. The young forward struck a low shot that slipped through the legs of Sunderland's goalkeeper, Robin Roefs, sending the home crowd into raptures. However, Sunderland responded strongly and leveled the score in the 22nd minute. Wilson Isidor capitalized on a long throw-in that caused chaos in the Chelsea defense, bundling the ball home from close range.

The second half saw both teams battling for supremacy, with Chelsea initially appearing more likely to regain the lead. Garnacho and Moises Caicedo tested Roefs, but Chelsea struggled to create clear-cut chances. As the game wore on, Sunderland's organized defense, playing with a back five for the first time this season, frustrated Chelsea's attacking efforts.

The decisive moment arrived in the third minute of added time when substitute Chemsdine Talbi scored a stunning goal. Brian Brobbey held up the ball brilliantly and teed up Talbi, who curled a low shot into the net, sparking wild celebrations among the Sunderland players and fans.

"We know we are Sunderland," Talbi said after the match. "We have a great team with great players. We knew we could do the job and we showed it today".

Sunderland's victory marks their best start to a Premier League season since 1999/2000. Their impressive away form in London also continued, as they extended their unbeaten run in the capital to 14 league games. For Chelsea, the defeat was a bitter pill to swallow, ending their run of four straight wins in all competitions.
