Sunderland 2-1 Stoke
Sunderland have got their first win since October after Tom Watson's impressive display leads to two veteran-like goals from the talented teen.
The second half didn't have the panache of the first but the Black Cats offered by far the most attacking threat, finally making it count when Watson's smooth strike deflected slightly off Michael Rose and into the net.
They could have been up before that but Wilson Isidor's header was ruled off for offside, though it's doubtful Regis Le Bris will be feeling too sore about that.
He heads to the tunnel with his side back to winning ways and, perhaps even more importantly, finding the goal.
Something that last month, came rarely.
