Sunderland seals stunning late win at Chelsea in the Premier League

By Canadian Press on October 25, 2025.

Sunderland provisionally moved up to second in the Premier League after Chemsdine Talbi scored in stoppage time to complete a stunning 2-1 comeback win at Chelsea on Saturday.

Chelsea led after four minutes through Alejandro Garnacho, but Wilson Isidor leveled the game in the 22nd before Talbi’s dramatic winner in the third minute of added time at Stamford Bridge.

Defending champion Liverpool was playing Brentford later Saturday and a win would see it overtake Sunderland.

There was also a late winner at St James’ Park, where Bruno Guimaraes scored in the 90th minute to seal Newcastle’s 2-1 victory over Fulham.

Jacob Murphy put Newcastle ahead in the 18th, but Sasa Lukic equalized in the 56th for Fulham.

Manchester United was playing Brighton at Old Trafford later Saturday and could move up to fourth with a win.
