EPL Update: Szczesny Errors Cost Arsenal, Lampard Scores Match-Winner for City

Man City 3-2 Sunderland


Substitute Frank Lampard headed a dramatic winner as Manchester City defeated Sunderland to go level on points with leaders Chelsea.


A sublime 22-yard strike by Yaya Toure and Stevan Jovetic’s clever close-range finish put City firmly in control.


But the hosts conceded a two-goal lead for the second game in a row as Jack Rodwell’s header and Adam Johnson’s penalty levelled the scores.
