90+8’ Goal Wycombe
Sickner for Sunderland.
The keeper came up for a late corner and Jacobson managed to scramble it home.
3-3!
90+2’ GOALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!! STEWART!!!
Scenes in the away end!
Gooch released Stewart who slid into the shot which rolled past Stockdale.
The ball seemed to take an age to hit the net.
This would be a huge three points!
