Sunderland responded well, and after a long throw caused chaos in the Chelsea area, Wilson Isidor equalized with a close-range finish past Robert Sanchez.
The game was evenly matched, with both teams creating scoring opportunities. Isidor had a chance to give Sunderland the lead, but his effort went wide. Chelsea then had chances of their own, including a Garnacho shot that was cleared by Roefs and a long-range effort from Trevoh Chalobah.
Enzo Maresca made a tactical change, introducing Estêvão for Garnacho, and the Brazilian had a shot just wide to lift the crowd. Sunderland played a back five for the first time this season, and their defense held firm in the second half.
The visitors were rewarded with a dramatic win when substitute Brian Brobbey held the ball up and laid it off for Chemsdine Talbi to score the winning goal in stoppage time.
The victory means Sunderland are now undefeated in 14 away league matches against London teams, and they move up to second place in the table. Chelsea, on the other hand, drop to seventh, three points behind Sunderland.
Robin Roefs was named the Man of the Match for his impressive performance.
