Sunderland came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Stadium of Light in the Capital One Cup Fifth Round, their first victory at home over their opponents since October 2000.

It was the away side who drew first-blood 11 passes into second-half as the ever reliable Frank Lampard scored from close-range.

Sunderland left it late, but substitute Fabio Borini sent the game into extra-time with a composed finish following Jozy Altidore's blocked shot.

The Black Cats left it late again in extra-time, with Sung-Young Ki summoning every ounce of composure to calmly place the ball into the goal with two minutes remaining.

Jose Mourinho made eight changes to the team that beat Crystal Palace with Schwarzer, Cahill, Cole, Mikel, Lampard, De Bruyne, Schurrle and Eto’o coming in.

Gus Poyet made three changes to the Sunderland side that drew against West Ham with
Dossena, Gardner and Johnson returning to the starting line-up.

Chelsea dominated the opening ten minutes with chances from Andre Schurrle and Willian both collected by the hands of Sunderland ‘keeper Victor Mannone.  

But Gus Poyet’s men weren’t prepared to defend for long and the Black Cats began to show some attacking intent of their own in an increasingly scrappy first-half.

Emanuele Giaccherini was the attacking catalyst and made a nuisance of himself with several runs at the Chelsea defense, but the most he got for his early efforts was a David Luiz yellow card.

Though possession evened-out, Chelsea continued to make the better chances. Schurrle collected the ball inside the box, turning Wes Brown who fell to the ground, before flashing
the ball across the face of goal but there was no one in a blue shirt to finish off the move.

It wasn’t long until the Sunderland fans were gasping at the action from the other end. Sebastian Larsson’s free-kick fell perfectly to John O’Shea at the back post but Caesar Azpilicueta got the vital touch to prevent a goal scoring opportunity.

The energetic Giaccherini continued to graft down the left-wing and, along with a majority of the crowd was crying out for a penalty in the 32nd minute as the underside of Azpilicueta’s raised arm blocked his cross with replays suggesting a penalty would have been harsh.

Chelsea made a dream start to the second-half and had the ball in the goal before some fans had sat down and the Sunderland defense had switcthed on.

Azpilicueta was released down the right-wing and hit a low ball across the face of goal, which was met by Lampard whose effort was helped in by Lee Cattermole and confirmed by Hawk Eye after Mannone clawed it out from behind the line.

It was panic stations again for Sunderland less than ten minutes after the goal. The sloppy passing at the back that had been a feature of the first-half returned as Craig Gardener's misplaced pass put Samuel Eto'o through on goal, but the Cameroon international stroked the ball wide of the right post, a chance they would be forced to rue. 

Chelsea had finally found their rhythm, if only for a short time, and started to create some chances. The most notable Schurrle's effort that forced Mannone to leap to his right, pushing the ball past the post for a corner.

Much like the first-half the hosts took time to grow into the game but eventually caused Chelsea a rare second-half issue in the 63rd minute. Luiz's weak clearance fell to the grateful feet of Larsson on the edge of the box with the resulting shot being blocked by the guilty Luiz.  

Just as the game looked to be drawing to a close Sunderland struck. The influential Giaccherini played Altidore through on goal and his blocked shot ran into the path of substitute Borini, who placed the ball through Luiz's legs at the front post and into the back of the net.

Extra-time provided many half-chances for both sides but the stand out opportunity was for Sunderland.

Larsson's cross from the right found an unmarked Ki whose diving header towards the top right corner looked a certain goal until Mark Schwarzer pulled off a fantastic save to keep the scores level.

With one minute left on the clock Sunderland's comeback was complete courtesy of the two substitutes.

Borini collected the ball in the box and played the ball to Ki who took one touch forward before sliding the ball inside the near post to finish Chelsea off.
