Just five minutes after the interval the Black Cats were in front thanks to a goal from former Everton man John Oster before Naylor hit back with a well timed header to bring the scores back level just two minutes later to score his third of the season.
However Sunderland were to have the last laugh when Kevin Kyle scored 5 minutes from time to seal the three points for Mick McCarthys side to which Town had no answer.
Town side: Davis, Wilnis, Naylor, Santos, Richards, Bart-Williams, Magilton, Wright, Counago (Mahon 51), Bent, Kuqi (Armstrong 72). Subs Not Used: Price, Nash, Bowditch
