A lack lustre Manchester United were on Saturday defeated by Sunderland 2 - 1 at the Stadium of Light.
Wahbi Khazri put the strugglers ahead after three minutes with a free-kick from the left that eluded everyone. Anthony Martial levelled after he clipped the ball over Vito Mannone, who had parried Juan Mata's shot.
But the Black Cats won it when Lamine Kone's header from Khazri's corner went in via a deflection off David de Gea to dent United's top-four bid.
United dominated the final stages of the first half, but other than that they were matched or outplayed by Sunderland, who could have scored more.
Sunderland's win takes them to within one point of rivals Newcastle and safety after a game inspired by manager Sam Allardyce's January signings.
