City announced late on Wednesday that Lampard’s loan move from their sister club New York City FC had been prolonged to the end of the season and he proved his worth by coming off the bench to score the winner.

But, ex City and Everton defender Jack Rodwell hauled the Black Cats back into the game with 22 minutes remaining.

And when Adam Johnson converted a penalty on 71 minutes it looked as though Manuel Pellegrini’s side were headed for another embarrassing draw.
