Dennis Cirkin has now scored five away goals this season, of which the last three have come in successive away games

Tony Mowbray’s Sunderland climbed into the Championship top six as they came from behind to beat West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

John Swift’s late first-half penalty on the stroke of half-time gave Albion a just about deserved interval lead.

But Lynden Gooch crossed for Dennis Cirkin to power in a header for the equaliser five minutes after the restart.

The Sunderland midfielder then waltzed his way into the Albion box to cap a fine move and score again for a match-winning second six minutes from time.

Albion, who drop to ninth, are still only two points shy of the play-off places and have a game in hand on Wednesday – at second-placed Sheffield United, who can win promotion with a win at Bramall Lane.
