Three goals in 13 first-half minutes saw Sunderland blitz past Brentford and into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with a 3-2 win at the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats owed much to 21-year-old Jocelin Ta Bi for his trio of assists to turn the game on its head after Brentford had dominated the early stages - and hit the post, bar and saw a shot cleared off the line in one move at 0-0.

Ta Bi, who joined Sunderland in January but had only featured four times since, was a livewire on the right flank in that first 45 minutes and thought he had opened his account for the club with a low drive that beat Hakon Valdimarsson, only for Chemsdine Talbi to tap home on the line and claim the goal.

Bi's second assist was more intentional after dancing into the box from out wide and pulling the ball back for Timur Tutierov, who sidefooted home a quick second only three minutes later.

Another 10 after that, it was three when Bi's excellent cross picked out Malick Fofana at the far post, and the unmarked Belgian powered a header home.

Callum Wilson gave Brentford hope just before the break when he bundled an effort home from close range before being booed for his Newcastle connections, but the Bees failed to build on that effort and took until the 94th minute for Igor Thiago to turn home Mathias Jensen's effort - by which time, it was too late.
