Image caption, Narcis Pelach has so far won three of his 15 matches in charge of Stoke CityStoke City boss Narcis Pelach says he was "disappointed" to lose at storm-lashed Sunderland to such a late, deflected winning goal.
Teenager Tommy Watson's second goal of the game just four minutes from time leaves the Potters now winless in five, having lost their past two - and they have dropped a place to 15th in the Championship, just four points clear of danger.
Stoke now head to Kenilworth Road on Tuesday night to face Luton Town - on the first anniversary of Alex Neil's departure from the club, since when Steven Schumacher and Pelach, so far, have both failed to find a regular winning formula.
