Sunderland handed former manager Mick McCarthy a miserable return to the Stadium of Light as Kenwyne Jones's double-strike inspired a 5-2 win over Wolverhampton on Sunday.
McCarthy spent three years in charge at Sunderland before being sacked in 2006 after a dismal campaign in the Premier League.
There were no fond memories for McCarthy to take back to Wolverhampton from Wearside this time either as his side squandered a point after battling back from 2-0 down to 2-2.
Penalties from Darren Bent and Trinidad and Tobago striker Jones had given Steve Bruce's Sunderland a two-goal lead just after half-time.
John Mensah's own goal and a Kevin Doyle strike gave McCarthy hope of making a point.
But Jones restored Sunderland's lead with a superb individual effort before Michael Turner's header and a Michael Mancienne own goal compounded McCarthy's misery and lifted the Black Cats into eighth place in the table. Click to read more...
