Sunderland 2-2 Crystal Palace: Super sub Borini rescues point for Black Cats

Sunderland moved out of the Premier League bottom three as Fabio Borini's late equalizer earned a point against Crystal Palace.

Substitute Fabio Borini came to Sunderland's rescue as his 90th-minute leveler earned a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace and moved Sam Allardyce's men out of the Premier League relegation zone.

Sunderland opened the scoring at the Stadium of Light when Dame N'Doye – signed on loan from Trabzonspor in January – scored his first goal for the club in the 36th minute.

However, Palace turned the match on its head in the second half with former Sunderland striker Connor Wickham sparking a revival with a five-minute double.
