Sunderland's misery shows no sign of letting up after Burton earned a deserved 2-1 win at the Stadium of Light.
Phil Parkinson has won only two games in 11 matches in charge, with the pressure already on the manager. 'Sacked in the morning' chanted the home crowd at the end.
The Brewers, meanwhile, moved to within three points of their more illustrious hosts, their fourth away win of the season.
Sunderland's Aiden McGeady opened the scoring after 19 minutes, slotting home confidently from the penalty spot.
Luke O'Nien went to ground in the area under a weak challenge by Jake Buxton after a clearance was smashed straight into Max Power and the Black Cats were in front.
But the lead lasted less than a minute as the Brewers replied almost straight away.
Kieran Wallace broke down the left side, taking a deft pass from Liam Boyce. His drive across goal was pushed out by keeper Lee Burge, but only as far as Ryan Edwards and he headed in from close range.
Burton won it after 69 minutes as Boyce tapped in from close range when Lucas Akins rolled the ball across goal.
