Sylvan Ebanks-Blake scored a stunning last-minute winner as struggling Wolves came from behind to stun Sunderland. A Kieran Richardson free-kick hit the post but Wolves took the lead after the break when Kevin Foley fired home. Sunderland hit back with two goals as Darren Bent poked in and Danny Welbeck nodded in Phil Bardsley's cross. Back came Wolves with Stephen Hunt crashing in the equaliser to set up the late drama with substitute Ebanks-Blake firing in from inside the box. It was an astonishing finale to a lively encounter with Ebanks-Blake grabbing the winner after being on the pitch for only nine minutes. The victory is only Wolves' third of a stuttering campaign and is only their second win in 14 games and will help to vindicate the comments made at the start of the day by the club's chief executive Jez Moxey who expressed his confidence in boss Mick McCarthy. They remain three points from the safety zone but McCarthy will be mighty relieved having witnessed his team take the lead, then trail soon after before the two late goals to secure the spoils. Having lost their last four league games, McCarthy was desperate to shore up his defence and replaced Marcus Hahnemann in goal for Wayne Hennessey but his players initially struggled on a very tricky surface against their confident visitors, beaten once in their previous 12 league games. The pace of Bent shocked the hosts' defence and he picked up Jordan Henderson's through-ball before shooting straight into the arms of a grateful Hennessey. A minute later they again went close when Boudewijn Zenden shot just wide. The hosts finally got to grips with the conditions and only wasteful finishing and a referee assistant's flag denied them the lead. Firstly Kevin Doyle was left unmarked inside the box but could only fire over the target and then Richard Stearman's celebrations were cut short for an offside after poking in George Elokobi's shot. The defender Elokobi was again involved but at the other end as his handball led to Sunderland's best chance of the first period. Richardson confidently took the responsibilities for the free-kick on the edge of the box as he curved in a delightful shot which rebounded away off the inside of the left-post. McCarthy may have ended the first half looking increasingly agitated, but the smile returned five minutes after the break when he saw his battling team grab a deserved opener. The impressive Matt Jarvis burst down the left and his shot was punched away by Craig Gordon, with Foley following up to bury the ball smartly and powerfully with his left foot. However, the miserable record of being the only team in the Premier League without a clean sheet was guaranteed to continue as Sunderland hit back and it was thanks to the head of substitute Asamoah Gyan. The Ghana striker, on for only 12 minutes, flicked on a clearance into the path of Bent and with defender Stearman unable to hold off the English striker, the ball was soon slotted into the net for the equaliser. Worse was to follow for the hosts as Sunderland grabbed the lead when defender Bardsley curled in the ball from the left and Welbeck leapt above the static defence to nod in his fourth in three games. The game's entertainment levels showed no sign of abating with Wolves grabbing an equaliser four minutes later when Elokobi's header fell to substitute Hunt who bundled the ball in from 10 yards. McCarthy may well have settled for a point at this stage but his players wanted more and were rewarded when another man to come off the bench, Ebanks-Blake, blasted in after being set up by Doyle.
