Match of the Day cameras zoom in on Roy Keane deep in conversation at the Stadium of Light. He doesn't appear angry at Sunderland's performance. Actually, Keane looks pretty relaxed. Which is more than can be said about the home fans.

Championship: Four for Bournemouth. Callum Wilson converts a penalty after Brett Pitman's first-half hat-trick. Blackpool are bottom and taking another hiding. Elsewhere, Troy Deeney has scored a third for Watford against Reading, who, remember, have made nine changes to their starting line-up as they have prioritised Monday's FA Cup quarter-final replay against Bradford.
League One: Great game at Colchester. It is 2-2 in their match against Crawley. David Fox has levelled for the U's.

Phil Coates: Surely this is the last game for Gus Poyet? He's lost the fans, the players and probably the boardroom after this pathetic show.

Bad news for West Brom. Keeper Ben Foster looks as though he has jarred his knee and is coming off. On comes Boaz Myhill. Can Stoke take advantage?

BBC Radio 5 live sports extra"Villa look confident, but that confidence has been handed to them. The crowd have been unhappy, and the whole thing has backfired on Sunderland - they have created their own problems because their defending in the first half was awful."

David Ospina has been able to continue after that knock to the head. Better spell from West Ham as they see plenty of the ball but their crossing has been terrible.

Image source, PA"Sunderland have no shape about the team, the fans have shown their discontent. I think things were thrown at the dugout, which is unacceptable. But we can understand their frustration as it has been pathetic. I mean they are playing a team below them in the table.
"You are looking for leaders and I'm looking at Wes Brown and John O'Shea and they have been woeful. They have played at the highest level."

Ironic cheers as Seb Larsson finally makes his way on to the pitch - several minutes after the re-start.

Arsenal keeper David Ospina needs some treatment after he is clattered by Diafra Sakho - no free-kick given. When you consider how much protection referees normally get that is surprising.
Has anyone seen Sunderland's 11th player?published at 16:06 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2015
Where's Seb Larsson? Incredible. Sunderland have started the second half with 10 men. Farcical at the Stadium of Light.

Aston Villa are going for a cricket score. Charles N'Zogbia is afforded so much space on the edge of the penalty area and it requires a fine save by Costel Pantilimon to prevent a fifth Villa goal.
