    Tallal: Watching Sunderland in recent weeks, is like watching Stoke under Pulis!

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2014

    Sebastian Larsson off. Jack Rodwell on. Another few seconds eaten up.

  5. CLOSE!published at 15:21 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2014

    To seal it....nope!

    Sebastian Larsson rounds Jak Alnwick, but the the angle beats him with his shot into the wrong side of the side-netting.

    "I said it earlier that I was worried about the counter-attack. It was a save from Pantilimon and Sunderland have broken down the other end and Johnson was very calm to fire it into the net. It is good play from Sunderland. They have not settled for the draw, have looked to hit on the break and haven't panicked when the chance came."

    A body blow for Newcastle and it looks like it is the knockout punch.

    Sunderland break upfield, twice Newcastle try to foul to bring the move to a end, but Sebastian Larsson picks out Will Buckley and his lay-off is hammered home by Adam Johnson.

    Gus Poyet almost gives himself a hernia with his celebration.

  9. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:18 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2014

    What an effort! What a save! An absolute rasper from Moussa Sissoko, tipped over the top by Costel Pantilimon.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2014

    Newcastle's fans groan as Sammy Ameobi misplaces a pass. That is his last contribution. On comes Remy Cabella in his place.

  11. Postpublished at 15:15 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2014

    Adam Armstrong fires over the top. It was only a quarter-chance though from the angle and with lots of Sunderland defenders around him.

  12. Postpublished at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2014

    Newcastle are loading the box. Plenty of black-and-white bodies in there. Has one of them got a winner in them?

  13. Postpublished at 15:13 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2014

    Will Buckley nicks the ball off Fabricio Coloccini on halfway, but the Argentine sprints back to make amends and regain possession.

    "It is very tense. Newcastle have been growing into the game in the second half after Alan Pardew made some positive changes. You do worry about them at the other end though and Adam Johnson missed a really good chance."

  15. Postpublished at 15:11 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2014

    Moussa Sissoko outmuscles Sebastian Larsson to earn a free-kick and ironic cheers from the crowd after an earlier decision had gone against the hosts.

    Under ten minutes left and to be honest I can't sense a winner. These two sides look like they have an allergy to goals today.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:09 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2014

    Connor Wickham's race is run. The Sunderland striker has been energetic, if ultimately ineffective. Will Buckley is on in his place.

    Tattz: El Classico this ain't, but this is an old fashioned full-blooded physical ding-dong of a derby. El Smackico?

    Sho: Have these lot forgotten how to score a goal. Painful to watch.

    Mark Chmarny: Living in US I often hear the argument of boring 0:0 football. Do check NEW v SUN if you hold on to this misguided notion

  19. WHAT A MISS!published at 15:08 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2014

    Adam Johnson stares into the whites of Jak Alnwick's eyes as he cuts inside Fabricio Coloccini and bares down on the Newcastle goalkeeper. The angle is tight, but he should do a whole lot better than the trundling side-foot wide of the post that follows.

    Just thrashing the life out of it, would have been my choice.

    Sunderland have not had many chances since the break and that was a gilt-edged one.

  20. Postpublished at 15:05 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2014

    Ayoze Perez is still causing Sunderland problems with his scurrying and scampering. He weaves past Wes Brown but his shot is slow, central and smothered by Costel Pantilimon.
