    Game over for Crystal Palace who are caught out in their desperate effort to snatch an equaliser. Liam Bridcutt races forward, puts Steven Fletcher in clear space and the striker makes no mistake. Gus Poyet stands with his arms outstretched.

    Jordi Gomez relieves some of the pressure by hoofing the ball into the Crystal Palace half. Just two minutes left for Palace to find something...

    Costel Pantilimon takes his time once again over a kick but when he does kick it up field Crystal Palace come forward quickly as Wilfreid Zaha has a shot charged down. Five minutes of stoppage time for Palace to find an equaliser.

    "Jedinak kicked back - and when Neil Warnock watches that again I do not think he will be able too much about that one.

    "Sunderland have had one league win here in 33 years but their poor record here might be about to change."

    It goes from bad to worse for Crystal Palace as Mile Jedinak is shown a second yellow for kicking back at Jordi Gomez after the two tangled when battling for the ball. Replays show Neil Warnock probably cannot have too many complaints about the sending off.

    "You can understand why he has gone down but it is not an elbow in the face. He has pushed him away with his arm."

    Anthony Reveillere is down clutching his nose for Sunderland after being caught by Yannick Bolasie but Crystal Palace press on with their attacks. Eventually, Phil Dowd intervenes to stop play so Reveillere can be treated.

    "Jordi Gomez has a lovely touch, he is very assured on the ball. What a big goal - his first for Sunderland - it will be if it stays like this."

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:44 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2014

    Crystal Palace have to go for it, and that is reflected in Neil Warnock's substitution. Off goes defender Brede Hangeland with forward Dwight Gayle replacing him.

    Gus Poyet makes another change as Will Buckley comes off and Liam Bridcutt, a holding midfielder, replaces him. Gus Poyet shoring things up for the final, nervy 10 minutes it seems.

    "It was a wonderful finish. I thought Gomez had wasted the opportunity. He waited for it to run all the way across his body and then hit it diagonally. It was a marvellous finish, he gave the keeper no chance and it was another bolt from the blue by Sunderland.

    "This is a big game in the scheme of things and to win it could make a big difference."

    Well how about this? Sunderland may not need Jozy Alitdore to get them a goal as Jordi Gomez regains the lead with 12 minutes left. Will Buckley runs across the edge of the area, passes to Gomez, who fires in a low shot from outside the box. Sunderland on their way out of the relegation zone?
