Sunderland registered three essential points in a 2-0 win over Bolton Wanderers thanks to two late goals from Stephane Sessegnon and Niklas Bentdner.
Black Cats boss Steve Bruce had won all four of his previous matches against Bolton.
Bolton, which lost their first four home Premier League matches so far this term, began the game positively with Pratley going close to finding the net on 13 minutes. Jaaskelainen has been shown the first yellow card of game in the 19 minute.
Sunderland found their first decent scoring chance six minutes before break through Sessegnon, who also drilled in a super low ball to Richardson after seven minutes of restart but Richardson was denied a certain goal by a flying interception by Wheater.
