Sunderland vs Chelsea History

The Blues have faced off against the Black Cats on a number of occasions, here are three memorable clashes from the recent past.

Sunderland 4-1 Chelsea (Premier League - December 4, 1999)

This was arguably one of Sunderland's greatest Premier League performances at the Stadium of Light. Peter Reid's side, in their first season back in the top flight after winning the Division One title, were playing exhilarating football. They dismantled Gianluca Vialli's Chelsea, who boasted international stars like Gianfranco Zola, Didier Deschamps, and Marcel Desailly. Niall Quinn scored twice, and Kevin Phillips also bagged a brace in a rampant display that sent shockwaves through the league and announced Sunderland as a genuine force.

Sunderland 3-2 Chelsea (Premier League - May 7, 2016)

This was a truly sensational and pivotal match in Sunderland's "great escape" under Sam Allardyce. Diego Costa put Guus Hiddink's Chelsea ahead. Wahbi Khazri equalized for Sunderland with a stunning volley. Nemanja Matić restored Chelsea's lead. However, in an incredible second-half turnaround, Fabio Borini levelled the scores before Jermain Defoe fired home a dramatic winner. John Terry was also sent off for Chelsea. The atmosphere was electric as Sunderland secured a massive three points.

Sunderland 1-3 Chelsea (Premier League - December 8, 2012)

Rafa Benitez was interim manager of Chelsea. Fernando Torres put the visitors ahead, and then won a penalty which David Luiz converted (though some remember Lampard taking penalties, Luiz scored this one). Juan Mata added a third for a dominant Chelsea. Adam Johnson scored a fine consolation goal for Martin O'Neill's Sunderland, but Chelsea's class was evident.
