A fine team display from Sunderland helped Dong-won Ji secure a famous win late on |
Ji and Stephane Sessegnon combined on the left-hand side of the City penalty area where Sessegnon passed to Ji who showed splendid balance and controlled the ball to take it around the goalkeeper Joe Hart and poke the ball home from about three yards.
Sunderland had an early chance as Nicklas Bendtner was denied by Hart when clean through and Sessegnon neatly jinked into the box, before sending his shot wide.
Earlier Manchester United lost to Blackburn Rovers providing City a opportunity to create a lead but City failed to score a goal and Ji's last minute goal snatched the point City would have earned for the draw. This was City's second defeat of the season.
Both City and United now stand on 45 points from 19 matches but City is ahead by goal difference. Tottenham is on the 3rd spot with 39 points and a game in hand.
