West Brom climb into third place with win at Sunderland

West Bromwich Albion went third in the Premier League with a 4-2 win against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Zoltan Gera curled in a brilliant 20-yarder just before the half-hour mark, then Simon Migonlet's inexplicable failure to hold a routine through ball allowed the alert Shane Long to finish into an empty net.

Craig Gardner pulled one back with a deflected free-kick before Romelu Lukaku restored the two-goal cushion from the penalty spot.

Stephane Sessegnon then smashed in a close-range effort, before Marc-Antoine Fortune had the final word for West Brom, scoring with the last meaningful kick of the game.
