Crystal Palace vs Sunderland History

These two teams are very used to facing off against each other, here are a few memorable clashes.

Crystal Palace 3-1 Sunderland (Premier League - August 31, 2013)

This was a hugely important early-season victory for Ian Holloway's newly-promoted Crystal Palace. After a tough start to life back in the top flight, the Eagles desperately needed a positive result. Danny Gabbidon bundled Palace ahead early on. Sunderland equalized through Steven Fletcher, but the game turned when Black Cats captain John O'Shea was sent off for bringing down Dwight Gayle. Gayle then converted the resulting penalty and later added a superb individual second goal, curling a shot into the top corner, to seal a crucial and joyous first three points of the campaign for the Selhurst Park faithful.

Crystal Palace 1-3 Sunderland (Premier League - November 3, 2014)

This Monday Night Football fixture was packed with incident. Steven Fletcher gave Gus Poyet's Sunderland the lead with a well-taken header. Palace equalized when an own goal from Wes Brown (though the ball deflected off Fraizer Campbell, it was officially given as Brown's OG) found the net. However, Sunderland retook the lead through a composed finish from Jordi Gómez. Palace's task was made harder when captain Mile Jedinak received a second yellow card for a late challenge. Fletcher then sealed the win for the Black Cats with his second of the night, a smart finish, giving Sunderland a valuable away victory.

Crystal Palace 0-1 Sunderland (Premier League - November 23, 2015)

Under new manager Sam Allardyce, Sunderland were scrapping for every point to survive. This was a tight, tense affair with few clear-cut chances. As the game looked to be heading for a goalless draw, Jermain Defoe, ever the poacher, pounced on a defensive mistake in the 80th minute. Scott Dann's back-pass was under-hit, and Defoe nipped in, rounded goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, and slotted home the decisive goal. It was a classic smash-and-grab victory for the Black Cats and a huge three points in their eventual successful fight against relegation.
