Enzo Le Fée's penalty fired Sunderland to a first league win since August, sinking Chelsea at the Stadium of Light and lifting them off the foot of the table.
Sunderland have finally found their winning feeling. The Black Cats beat Chelsea at the Stadium of Light, ending a long wait for a Premier League victory and climbing off the bottom of the table.
Enzo Le Fée was the man of the moment, stepping up from the penalty spot to give the hosts the cushion they needed. It was a composed finish in a high-pressure game, and it sent the home crowd into raptures.
The win is Sunderland's first in the league since August, a run that had left them stuck in the relegation zone and short on belief. Chelsea arrived with far greater star power, but Sunderland met them with energy and discipline and refused to wilt in the closing stages.
For Chelsea, it is a damaging setback and a sharp reminder that no fixture is a given in this league. For Sunderland, it is a precious three points and a platform to build on as the battle to stay up continues.
