Blues tame Black Cats

Carlo Ancelotti picked up his first Barclays Premier League away win as Chelsea were once again made to come from behind to claim victory as they beat Sunderland 3-1.Despite dominating the first half, the visitors went in at the break trailing to Darren Bent's second goal in as many games for Sunderland.But once Michael Ballack had fired them back on level terms within seven minutes of the restart they never looked back.Frank Lampard handed them the lead from the penalty spot nine minutes later and Deco's sweet 70th-minute strike proved more than enough to see off the Black Cats.Steve Bruce's men, as well as the bulk of a crowd of 41,179, had dared to hope a first win over one of the big four since their return to the top flight was on the cards after Bent's 18th-minute opener.But ultimately they were well beaten as the Blues belatedly rediscovered the form that largely deserted them at the weekend.
