• Sunderland overturn two-goal deficit at Swansea
• Sheffield United on top after 2-0 win over Plymouth

Sunderland overturned a two-goal deficit to win a 3-2 thriller at Swansea and climb to third place in the Championship.

Swansea established a healthy lead inside 17 minutes as Zan Vipotnik volleyed home and Liam Cullen dispatched a fabulous free-kick, but Sunderland levelled through Dan Ballard and Dan Neil – whose previous goals both came in a 2-1 victory against West Brom over 12 months ago. Jobe Bellingham then claimed the winner with his third of the season.
