The former Newcastle striker came off the bench to slot home an 81st-minute shot, and then added a second in injury time to seal the win.
England winger Stewart Downing had fired a 75th-minute penalty over the bar to let the Wearsiders off the hook.
The midfielder, who thumped his last spot-kick against the bar, blasted over to give Sunderland the impetus to go on and win the spoils in front of a crowd of 38,388.
Southgate and Keane launched their managerial careers at around the same time a little more than two years ago, and both would admit to having embarked upon a steep learning curve.
But both are now starting to see progress as they attempt to build teams in their own, very different, images.
Player of the Match : Michael Chopra (Sunderland)
