Wilson Isidor scored a stoppage-time header in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time to give Sunderland a 2-1 victory over Brentford at the Stadium of Light. Igor Thiago opened the scoring for Brentford in the 77th minute by nodding on Frank Onyeka's cross. Enzo Le Fee converted an 82nd-minute penalty to level after Rico Henry fouled Habib Diarra. Brentford had an earlier Dango Ouattara goal ruled out for offside and Kevin Schade missed a penalty after Reinildo Mandava fouled Nathan Collins. Sunderland moved up to sixth after three games, while Brentford dropped to 12th.
Brentford thought they had taken the lead in the 21st minute through Dango Ouattara, but his neat finish from a tight angle was ruled out for offside after a VAR review. The Bees then squandered the chance to take the lead from the penalty spot after Reinildo Mandava hauled down Nathan Collins, but Kevin Schade saw his spot-kick saved. Despite that setback, Keith Andrews' side edged ahead in the 77th minute when Thiago nodded substitute Frank Onyeka's cross beyond the grasp of Robin Roefs.
However, two goals in 14 minutes turned the contest on its head, with Le Fee levelling the scores from the spot after Rico Henry felled Habib Diarra. But there was still time for one more dramatic twist. In the sixth minute of stoppage time, Isidor powered home from Granit Xhaka's outswinging cross to snatch victory and send the home fans into delirium.
