Thorne, who had missed last season with a broken leg, fired a low shot into the bottom corner on 31 minutes.

Derby were in control for much of the match, but Rees Greenwood hit a post for Sunderland.

Zanzala sealed the win after coming off the bench, with a curling strike deep into stoppage time.
