The German centre-back was caught napping when Kieran Richardson fired home Asamoah Gyan's bungled shot in the second minute, and just after half-time he was culpable in allowing the Ghana striker to turn him in the penalty area to make it 2-1.
However, after John Carew's first-half equaliser, Huth used all his physical presence in the Sunderland box to convert two Jermaine Pennant free-kicks in the last seven minutes, with the winner coming three minutes into added time.
"It was great it went for us at the end because it didn't look like it was going to for long periods," he said.
"It is a bit unlike me to make a mistake so I was gutted and I wanted to make sure it was not my mistake that we lost.
"For the first one I just got a touch on it as there were a couple of ricochets and it came off my thigh and went in. But I felt relieved when I scored the winner because the last thing you want to do is make a mistake."
