Sunderland stage astonishing injury-time turnaround to beat Shrewsbury and reach FA Cup 4th round

Sunderland staged an astonishing injury-time turnaround to beat Shrewsbury Town and book their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup. After a tricky opening quarter-hour in which Luke Leahy hit the woodwork for the Shrews, the Black Cats dominated the game but could not find the net.

And when Matt Pennington headed the hosts in front from a corner 10 minutes from time, it looked as though Sunderland's FA Cup run would be over before it had begun. But in the second minute of added time, substitute Ross Stewart headed Sunderland level, and then Luke O'Nien scored the winner two minutes later to turn the game on its head and give the Black Cats the victory they deserved.

They will now go into the fourth round draw, which is made tomorrow ahead of the third round tie between Manchester City and Chelsea. Tony Mowbray made three changes to the side that started last weekend's Championship draw at Blackpool.
