Joe Edwards netted a dramatic 93rd-minute winner as Wayne Rooney s Plymouth Argyle stunned Championship leaders Sunderland 3-2 on Saturday.
Argyle were still waiting for their first league win under Rooney heading into this match against the early pace-setters, who had recorded four wins from four.
It looked like being more of the same when Patrick Roberts netted a first-half penalty for Sunderland, but Plymouth turned the game on its head after the restart at Home Park.
Dan Ballard s own goal got the home side level, then Ryan Hardie converted an Argyle spot-kick.
Sunderland fans had made the longest trip in the EFL this season to see their side and looked to be rewarded with a hard-earned point when Romaine Mundle equalised four minutes from time.

Ilkay Gundogan is a midfield heavyweight and his arrival at Barcelona will raise the level of team-mates including Frenkie de Jong, Pedri and Gavi.
That is the view of Barca great Hristo Stoichkov, who is excited by the prospect of the former Manchester City captain slotting into Xavi s title-winning side.
Barca won LaLiga for the first time since Lionel Messi s 2021 departure last season, with a young Blaugrana team finishing 10 points clear of rivals Real Madrid.
Gundogan joined Barca on a free transfer in June after helping City become just the second side to win a Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League treble, and Stoichkov hopes his experience will benefit younger team-mates.
I think it s fantastic because he s a great player, Stoichkov told S…
Gabriel Jesus scored a second-half brace as Manchester City claimed a 2-1 win over Everton, who suffered defeat for the first time under Carlo Ancelotti.
Brazil striker Jesus was restored to the starting line-up in one of five changes from City s victory against Sheffield United and more than took his opportunity in Wednesday s clash at the Etihad Stadium.
Phil Foden had a strike ruled out by the video assistant referee in a low-key first half, but the home side stepped things up in the second half and were rewarded through Jesus quickfire double.
Everton had won back-to-back matches under Ancelotti previously and gave themselves a lifeline when Richarlison profited from a Claudio Bravo error 19 minutes from time, but they could not find a leveller as City saw th…
Paris Saint-Germain produced a stunning late turnaround to beat Atalanta 2-1 and reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 1995.
Mario Pasalic s first-half strike had looked set to settle a contest in Lisbon that will be remembered for a series of first-half misses from Neymar, the worst of which came when through on goal in the third minute.
Thomas Tuchel s side dominated large spells but looked short of sharpness after playing few games in the past five months, even following Kylian Mbappe s introduction from the bench after he shook off an ankle injury.
However, Marquinhos prodded home a fortuitous equaliser in the 90th minute before Neymar and Mbappe combined to set up Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to become the unlikely hero and break Ata…
An unlikely quadruple remains very much on for Liverpool after a 3-2 victory against Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
The national stadium was bathed in sunshine, resplendent, eagerly anticipating round two of arguably the biggest heavyweight clash in world football right now.
Fair enough, technically round three if you include the Anfield game earlier this season, but it felt like a second leg after last week s exhilarating 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium that left City one point ahead of the Reds in the race for the Premier League title.
A relatively innocent declaration from former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher recently that this is now the biggest rivalry in English football caused uproar from those who remember the days of Manchester …
Chelsea reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in seven years after Hakim Ziyech and Emerson Palmieri scored in a 2-0 second-leg win over Atletico Madrid.
The Blues went into the game knowing they had never been knocked out of a two-legged European tie after winning the first leg away from home, and Ziyech added to Olivier Giroud s goal from the previous meeting with a cool finish in the 34th minute.
It was Ziyech s first goal at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea, but the glory was shared on a night when every player for the hosts excelled. Atletico had Stefan Savic sent off before substitute Emerson rounded out an impressive performance by the Premier League team, firing home in stoppage time.
The manner of the 3-0 a…
John Stones says that while Manchester City will miss Rodri, his absence will give other players in the team a chance to shine.
The Spaniard suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury that required surgery in City s 2-2 draw with Arsenal in the Premier League on September 22.
Rodri played 50 matches in all competitions for Pep Guardiola s side last season, proving a key player as they won a fourth-consecutive top-flight title.
The team often struggled without him in the squad though, with their win rate dropping from 76% to 55.6% in the nine games they played without him.
With Kevin De Bruyne also currently on the sidelines, Rico Lewis, Mateo Kovacic and Ilkay Gundogan played in midfield in their 1-1 draw with Newcastle United on Sat…
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou says ideas like the European Super League often come from people who are “detached from what this game is all about”.
Spurs were one of six English clubs who were signed up to the original Super League in 2021 before swiftly withdrawing amid fan protests.
A European Court of Justice ruling on Thursday has forced UEFA to at least listen to proposals for rival competitions like the Super League in future, but all six Premier League teams involved last time have already distanced themselves from any attempt to revive the ESL.
For too long, football fans have been treated as an afterthought.
If I’m Prime Minister, I’ll make sure the European Super League doesn’t happen.
It’s time to start putting fans fir…
Robert Lewandowski moved outright third on the list of all-time Champions League goalscorers as he helped Bayern Munich to a convincing 4-1 win against Lazio in Tuesday s last-16 first leg.
Bayern have stuttered domestically with a draw and defeat in their past two Bundesliga matches, but they eased to victory at the Stadio Olimpico, scoring three of their four goals in the first half.
Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sane put the holders in complete control after prolific striker Lewandowski had opened the scoring with his 72nd goal in the competition, moving him behind only Cristiano Ronaldo (134) and Lionel Messi (119).
Francesco Acerbi s own goal early in the second half gave Lazio an even bigger mountain to climb and, while Joaquin Correa did pull one back with a fin…
Antonio Conte has told his players to do their talking on the pitch by holding off Milan and winning a first Scudetto in 11 years.
Inter edged out Torino 2-1 late on in their most recent match and boast a six-point lead on Milan with a game in hand on their closest challengers.
That made it eight Serie A victories in a row for the Nerazzurri and they will be looking to make it nine on the spin for the first time since 2017 when they travel to Bologna.
Milan boss Stefano Pioli and midfielder Ismael Bennacer have both warned Inter that the title race is not yet over, but Conte does not want to engage in mind games.
Asked at his pre-match news conference on Friday what mistakes have to be avoided, Conte said: Speaking inappropriately. We need to shut up and …
