It was an embarrassing loss for head coach Mike Phelan's side as the surging Black Cats pulled off their biggest win so far in the season.
English forward Jermain Defoe netted the opening goal of the contest in the 34th minute to give the hosts a one-point lead at the break. Nigerian forward Victor Anichebe then hit a brace in the second half, in the 62nd and 84th minutes, to complete the hosts' three-goal haul.

Meanwhile, West Brom is on a two-game winning run to move up to the ninth spot in the overall standings after 12 rounds of Premier League competitions.
