Wilson Isidor was the hero at the Stadium of Light as an impressive Sunderland came from behind to snatch a late 2-1 victory against Brentford.
Regis Le Bris’ side were often in control but had to wait until the 95th minute to finally take the initiative as the substitute Isidor rose highest to hand the hosts all three points.
After a tetchy first half, Brentford were given a golden chance to take the lead from the penalty spot after Reinildo pulled down Nathan Collins during a set-piece. Kevin Schade’s resulting spot-kick lacked any conviction though, as Robin Roefs saved with ease.

The visitors would take the lead through Igor Thiago’s header with 15 minutes to go, but were pegged back when Rico Henry conceded a near identical penalty to Reinildo earlier in the half.
This allowed Enzo Le Fee to level things up on his first Premier League start, before Isidor climbed to meet Granit Xhaka’s cross to secure a stoppage-time comeback victory in front of a jubilant Stadium of Light faithful.
