  • The Londoners’ lead was canceled out by Wilson Isidor’s equalizer

LONDON: Sunderland dealt Chelsea a 2-1 home defeat in the Premier League when substitute Chemsdine Talbi curled in a low shot deep into stoppage time on Saturday.
The visitors, who have moved up to second place in the table, had gone behind in the fourth minute when Alejandro Garnacho claimed his first goal for Chelsea.
But the Londoners’ lead was canceled out by Wilson Isidor’s equalizer in the 22nd minute when the Frenchman stabbed in from close range after Chelsea failed to deal with a long throw.
The game appeared to be heading for a draw before Talbi ran onto a pass by fellow substitute Brian Bobbey in the third minute of added time and left Robert Sanchez with no chance.
