Chelsea Stunned by Talbi’s Last-Minute Strike as Sunderland Snatch Shocking Victory
Well, this one’s a real heartstopper, isn’t it? Sunderland hadn’t snagged a win over Chelsea since 2014 but, boy, did they flip the script yesterday at Stamford Bridge. Just when it seemed Chelsea had the game in the bag—thanks to Alejandro Garnacho’s early strike—Sunderland dug in. Wilson Isidor leveled it up by the 22nd minute, and from there, it wasn’t about who had the flashiest footwork but who had the grit and guts to own the pitch. The crowd’s roar was a steady drum, fueling every tackle won and every ounce of effort poured out by Regis Le Bris’s team. Then, out of nowhere, with the clock bleeding into added time, Chemsdine Talbi pulled off a late-game masterpiece, sealing a 2-1 victory that had Wearside fans singing long after the final whistle. It’s moments like these that remind you… in football, hope really does spring eternal. LEARN MORE
Sunderland beat Chelsea for the first time since 2014.
Chemsdine Talbi scored a 93rd-minute winner as Sunderland claimed a stunning 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to, at least temporarily, go second in the Premier League.
Chelsea appeared set to make a difficult afternoon for Regis Le Bris’ men when. Alejandro Garnacho fired in a fourth-minute opener.
However, the Blues were poor thereafter and Wilson Isidor drew Sunderland level in the 22nd minute, with clear-cut chances then few and far between as the visitors frustrated Enzo Maresca’s side.
Sunderland grew in confidence as an often scrappy contest edged towards a conclusion, their fans cheering vociferously every time they won a 50-50 tackle.
And the travelling hordes from Wearside were sent into raptures when Brian Bobbey held the ball up brilliantly for Talbi, who secured Sunderland’s best result since returning to the top with composed finish into the bottom-right corner.
