Tony Mowbray’s Side Up To Sixth After Unexpected Comeback Victory

Sunderland produced a stunning second-half comeback as Dennis Cirkin’s double secured a 2-1 victory at play-off rivals West Brom.

The 21-year-old struck twice to end Albion’s 12-match unbeaten home league run after John Swift had put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot immediately before half-time.

It was a real end-to-end affair, especially in the second half, before Sunderland sealed the win in the 84th minute to extend their unbeaten streak to seven matches and move up to a play-off berth in sixth place in the Championship with two games remaining.

West Brom, who have three matches left, stay ninth in the table on 63 points, two behind Sunderland.
