Chelsea hosted Sunderland at Stamford Bridge today in a Premier League fixture, and despite taking an early lead, the Blues were edged out 2–1 by the visitors.
Chelsea struck first in the 4th minute through Alejandro Garnacho, who opened his goal account for the club following an assist from Pedro Neto. Sunderland equalised in the 22nd minute when Wilson Isidor capitalised on a defensive lapse following a long throw. With the match seemingly headed for a draw, Sunderland substitute Chemsdine Talbi produced a decisive strike in stoppage time (90+3’) to secure the win.
The defeat ends Chelsea’s four-game winning streak and raises questions about their consistency at home. Sunderland’s victory was a statement result, boosting their league position and belief as a newly-promoted side. Chelsea dominated possession and shots—holding around 69% possession and recording 16 attempts to Sunderland’s 10—but were undone by fleeting defensive errors and a late counterattack.
