Nathan Broadhead scored another dramatic injury-time winner as Sunderland beat Shrewsbury Town to tighten their grip on a play-off place. The Black Cats looked in total control when goals from Elliot Embleton and then Broadhead put them 2-0 up with less than 15 minutes gone at the Stadium of Light.
But they allowed Shrewsbury back into the game early in the second half, with Josh Vela and ex-Black Cat Tom Flanagan hauling the visitors level before the hour mark. Ross Stewart hit the woodwork and later brought a fine save out of Shrews' keeper Marko Marosi.
It looked like Sunderland would run out of time, until on-loan Everton man Broadhead - who had scored a 95th minute winner against Gillingham in the last home game - headed home in the 92nd minute. That goal marked the first time since August that Shrewsbury had conceded three times in a league game, and it also meant Sunderland notched a third successive victory since September, and extended their unbeaten run to nine games.
