Sunderland 2-4 Burnley: Vincent Kompany's side come from two goals down to secure win and keep pace with leading pack at the top of the Championship

Burnley came from 2-0 down to beat Sunderland 4-2 in the Championship.

Manager Vincent Kompany was told in the week that the congested league table wouldn't last, and his team managed to keep pace with the automatic promotion places thanks to goals from Nathan Tella, Manuel Benson, Anass Zaroury and Josh Brownhill at the Stadium of Light.

The hosts got off to the perfect start and led 2-0 with 20 minutes on the clock thanks to Amad Diallo and Dan Neil, but they collapsed in the second half to suffer back-to-back defeats for the first time this season.
