A goal three minutes from the end of extra time knocked the Blues out of the Capital One Cup at the quarter-final stage as Sunderland came from behind to win. After an uneventful first half, an own goal shortly after the restart gave Chelsea the lead and began an improved performance. However chances were not taken and the home side, who had also carried more threat since the interval, levelled with just three minutes of normal time left to play; former Chelsea striker Fabio Borini the first to score against us in this competition this season.

Chances fell to both sides in extra-time and three minutes were once again left on the clock when Sunderland took one of theirs, substitute Ki Sung Yeung netting the decider to end our hopes of silverware in the early spring. Historically the Wearsiders have been difficult cup opposition for the Blues, and so it continued.
