Saturday’s lunchtime kickoff in the Premier League provided stunning drama, especially at the home of Chelsea.
Newly-promoted Sunderland stunned Enzo Maresca’s men 2-1 at Stamford Bridge, bringing the Blues’ winning streak to an abrupt end.
Alejandro Garnacho gave Chelsea an early lead, but Wilson Isidor equalised in the 22nd minute after a defensive lapse from the hosts.
The game looked destined for a draw until Chemsdine Talbi curled in a dramatic stoppage-time winner, handing Sunderland a dream result.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United claimed a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Fulham at St James’ Park. Jacob Murphy opened the scoring for the Magpies, but Fulham pulled level through Saša Lukić.
