Sunderland 2-1 Blackburn Rovers

Kenwyne Jones scored twice as Sunderland came from behind to beat Blackburn Rovers at the Stadium of Light.

The Trinidad and Tobago international levelled 13 minutes before the break after being played in by Steed Malbranque.

It had been all Rovers up to that point with Gael Givet firing the visitors ahead with 21 minutes gone after Black Cats old boy El-Hadji Diouf had forced Marton Fulop into a fine save.

Sunderland went in front on 54 minutes when Lee Cattermole broke down the left and sent in an inviting cross for Jones to power a header past Paul Robinson.
