The crisis at managerless Sunderland deepened as the Black Cats were booed off for a third successive game as they suffered another defeat that saw them fall even further off the automatic promotion pace.
The Black Cats' 2-1 reverse at Cheltenham Town came on the back of the 6-0 humiliation at Bolton which cost head coach Lee Johnson his job, and then the 2-1 home defeat against basement side Doncaster Rovers at the weekend.
And it goes from bad to worse for Sunderland, who look like a side devoid of all confidence, with Alex Pritchard's stunning first-half free-kick unable to lift the malaise as deflected goals from Elliott Bonds and Alfie May in the final half-hour turned the game on its head.
