Sunderland ended a run of three successive Championship defeats with a deserved 3-1 victory over Norwich, who are now winless in their last five games.
Hwang Ui-jo gave Norwich the lead against the run of play just after the midway stage of the first half, but Sunderland hit back with goals from Trai Hume and Dan Neil before the break and the league's top scorer Jack Clarke secured the victory from the spot with his ninth goal of the season 10 minutes from time. The victory lifted Sunderland to seventh in the Championship, but Norwich's tumble continues.
Mowbray's side looked comfortable in the early stages of the second half but Norwich fired a warning just before the hour mark when Christian Fassnacht met a Dimitris Giannoulis cross from the left and headed against the post. The Canaries had their moments in the second half but the game's star man Clarke wrapped up the points for Sunderland when he won and scored a penalty on 80 minutes.
