QPR had trailed by two goals with just three minutes of normal time remaining, before Ilias Chair grabbed what appeared to be a consolation strike to get them back in it.Chair's goal set the stage for Dieng to steal the headlines in additional time after manager Michael Beale sent him up for a corner in pursuit of an equaliser.READ MORE: Win 2 tickets to watch England vs Germany in Nations League action at Wembley StadiumSunderland appeared to have initially dealt with QPR's initial corner, with Dieng staying in the opposition penalty area as his side recycled the ball.With the ball crossed back in by Chair, the QPR keeper was able to leap unmarked to nod the ball over Anthony Patterson, with the Black Cats keeper powerless to stop Dieng's looping header.Fans were quick to react to the goal on social media, with the header unsurprisingly representing Dieng's first senior goal, as one tweeted: "Nothing beats a goalkeeper goal."What is the best goal you have seen a goalkeeper score?
