At the other end, the visitors mustered their first attempt as Chemsdine Talbi almost picked out the top corner, but his curling strike was clawed away by Aaron Ramsdale before Chris Rigg dragged his effort well over the bar.
Just before the break, Elanga slammed his effort into the side netting before Sven Botman’s header from Hall’s delivery struck the post, and the host went into the break with a one-goal lead.
In the 57th minute, Talbi restored parity for the Black Cats after Ramsdale failed to deal with a corner and the Moroccan converted from close range.
Minutes later, Ramsdale made two good saves, denying Granit Xhaka and Noah Sadiki Sunderland’s second.
Malick Thiaw thought he had given the hosts the lead at the other end after he headed home from a corner, but the goal was ruled out for a foul by Jacob Murphy before Gordon curled wide of the post.
On the stroke of full time, Brian Brobbey fired the Black Cats ahead after he met Enzo Le Fee’s pass to win it at the death.
