'Beaten by better side': Jonny Drury & Lewis Cox on West Brom's defeat to Sunderland - WATCH

Albion went ahead thanks to a John Swift penalty on the stroke of half time.

But Sunderland turned the game right around in the second half.

Dennis Cirkin headed home a Lyndon Gooch cross before he finished off a superb move to take the points.

It was Albion's first home defeat since October and puts a big dent in their play-off hopes.
