Josh Sargent’s fourth goal in three games sealed a 1-0 win for Norwich to pile the misery on Sunderland as their hunt for a new manager begins.
The American striker’s devastating late tap-in added to the gloom on Wearside after Alex Neil quit to take over at Championship rivals Stoke.
Former Canaries boss Neil walked out of Sunderland just months after securing promotion and 24 hours before he had the chance to take Sunderland to the top of the league.
And with his former assistant Martin Canning left in charge, Sunderland hit the woodwork twice and were left to rue a number of missed chances before Sargent stole three points for Dean Smith’s side.
