Chaotic moment Sunderland ceiling COLLAPSES during press conference - and debris narrowly misses reporters - as reason for it caving in is 'revealed'

Sunderland's Stadium of Light became the Stadium of Fright on Tuesday night when part of the ceiling collapsed and almost hit reporters during a press conference.

Manager Regis Le Bris was being interviewed after seeing his side draw 1-1 with Bristol City thanks to Patrick Roberts' 93rd-minute equaliser.

And the Black Cats were counting their lucky stars when a ceiling panel fell but fortunately avoided hitting anybody.

At least 10 people were in the room at the time.

The Sunderland Echo has reported that a leak upstairs was responsible for the moment of madness.
