Chelsea’s four-match winning streak came to an emphatic end on Saturday afternoon as they sunk to a late 2–1 defeat against Sunderland in the Premier League.
Chelsea made the perfect start to proceedings at Stamford Bridge as they went ahead in the fourth minute via Alejandro Garnacho’s first goal for the club, but Wilson Isidor’s equaliser and fourth Premier League goal of the season ensured Sunderland entered half time level.
The Blues huffed and puffed as they sought a winner in west London, but it was their visitors who snatched a decisive second goal at the death as substitute Chemsdine Talbi stroked home in the 93rd minute.
The result sees Chelsea drop down to seventh in the table for the time being, with Sunderland making an astonishing leap to second place.
