Sunderland’s Ross Stewart celebrates his equaliser from the penalty spot
Substitute Ellis Simms snatched an injury-time winner as Sunderland came from behind to beat Blackburn.
Ross Stewart, making his first start in four months, headed Tyler Morton’s free-kick into his own net to give Rovers an early lead.
But Stewart atoned for his error two minutes later, winning and scoring a penalty to make it 1-1.
It looked as though the points would be shared until Blackburn failed to clear a free-kick and Simms stabbed home.
