"Palace were hopeful of a positive result after a deflating week, which saw the news of Marc Guehi and head coach Oliver Glasner's impending departures follow their shock FA Cup exit last weekend, and things looked good for the Eagles when Yeremy Pino pounced on an error from Robin Roefs to give them the lead after 30 minutes. However, they were ahead for just three minutes as Enzo Le Fee swept home from Nordi Mukiele's low cross, and the hosts were then in complete control at the Stadium of Light."
"It was a dominant performance from Sunderland in the end, with the Black Cats producing 1.72 expected goals (xG) from 13 shots to Palace's 0.61 from six attempts, but Le Bris' side found themselves behind in a game again. Sunderland, however, have won their most points from losing positions in a single Premier League season this term (16), while it's the most by a newly promoted side in the top-flight since West Brom in 2010-11 (27). They are also one of just two sides yet to lose at home in the Premier League this season (alongside Arsenal), while the Black Cats have avoided defeat across their opening 11 games on home soil (W6 D5) for the first time in the top-flight since 2000"
Sunderland defeated Crystal Palace 2-1 at the Stadium of Light, ending a five-game winless run. Yeremy Pino opened the scoring after 30 minutes following a Robin Roefs error, but Enzo Le Fee equalised three minutes later from Nordi Mukiele's low cross. Brian Brobbey scored the winner 19 minutes from time with a right-footed effort that crashed in off the bar. Dean Henderson produced a late double save to deny Palace chances. Sunderland registered 1.72 expected goals from 13 shots to Palace's 0.61 from six, remained unbeaten at home and have recovered 16 points from losing positions this season.
