Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher scored in each half to help his beleaguered side earn a much-needed 3-1 win against Crystal Palace in their Premier League match at Selhurst Park on Monday.
The visitors went ahead after half an hour when Fletcher rose to direct a header into Julian Speroni's bottom right hand corner.
Palace equalised thanks to an own goal by substitute Wes Brown in the 55th but Gomez put Sunderland back in front against the run of play by rifling a low shot from the left into the bottom far corner in the 78th minute as Palace chased victory.
Fletcher scored the third on a breakaway in added time to wrap up the points.
