You don't save those! Another flowing Arsenal moves ends up at the feet of Olivier Giroud, he rifles in a left-footed strike which hammers in against the inside of the post. Brilliant goal!

Astonishing scenes at the Stadium of Light. Aston Villa have the points in the bag as Christian Benteke leaps high above the Black Cats defence to connect with Leandro Bacuna's delightful cross. Gus Poyet has the look of a man who knows time is running out.

What's the opposite of clinical? Theo Walcott spurns another fine chance after Adrian can only parry Mesut Ozil's low shot into his path. Walcott on the stretch screws it wide.

Shohidur Rahman: When you've conceded 3 at home to the least prolific team in the league you know you've got problems.

"Not only are the Sunderland fans leaving but they are trying to get to the dugout where Gus Poyet is sitting and the police and stewards are trying to stop them. There is quite a police presence around the dugout stopping the fans from making their points heard. These will be season ticket holders."

Chris Sutton on Final Score: "Their team is performing pathetically and they are getting thrashed, and deservedly so. Villa are brave on the ball, Sunderland have offered nothing."

Tense scenes at the Stadium of Light as one or two Sunderland fans let their emotions get the better of them. They're trying to make their way to the Sunderland bench but and it needs a number of stewards to stop them in their tracks.

Championship: Jermaine Pennant's first goal in English football since January 2014 - a 25-yard free-kick - puts struggling Wigan Athletic in front at Rotherham. But, wait, Pennant's second goal follows soon after, another free-kick, and Wigan are 2-0 up. Bournemouth are cruising against bottom-placed Blackpool. Brett Pitman's brace is taking the Cherries back to the top of the division.

In the big game in the Championship, fifth-placed Norwich are playing Derby in third at Carrow Road and the Canaries' fans are celebrating as they lead 1-0 following Cameron Jerome's 18th goal of the season.

League One: Will Grigg has levelled for MK Dons against Walsall. It is 1-1.

League Two: Andy Parrish's own goal has put Hartlepool, bottom of the Football League, 1-0 up at Morecambe.

Sam Rose: It was never the players. Can we agree it was Paul Lambert who failed to get anything from these players?

"I almost don't know what to say about this, the simple truth is that Sunderland's defence is so tentative. Agbonlahor came inside one tackle, went past Brown and saw the opportunity. It was an absolute gift.

"This could be a big day for Villa, but also for Sunderland as well if things do not improve. When Villa are confident and pass the ball around, they take some holding."

Is Gus Poyet heading for the sack? Sunderland fans are out of their seats and heading for the exit gates as Charles N'Zogbia sends Gabriel Agbonlahor clear. The Villa forward has work to do but Sunderland's defenders back off, allowing Agbonlahor to get his shot away. It's low, it's powerful and... it's in the net.

"There must be 40,000 in today, but they have been quiet. Sunderland needed something to set them off, the fans are disappointed at the moment and now Sunderland need a goal desperately."

"There was a horrendous goalkeeping error by Asmir Begovic and he will be breathing a huge sigh of relief that the goal was offside."

West Brom have the ball in the net again, but it's disallowed for a correctly raised offside flag against Brown Ideye. The most relieved man in the ground is Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, who made a complete hash of his attempt to gather the ball before Ideye tucked it away. Begovic's blushes were spared there.

Arsenal must surely score in a minute, they are all over West Ham. Alexis Sanchez forces Adrian into a diving save with a wonderful strike on the bounce, before the Chilean is booked for a cheeky handball on the stretch.

The 'as it stands' table makes horrible reading for Sunderland fans. Aston Villa have leapfrogged the Black Cats who are now down to 17th in the table.

Leicester have been on the back foot but go close, and no surprise the ever-excellent Riyad Mahrez is involved. He whips in a teasing cross from wide right, it bounces just beyond the far post with Andrej Kramaric close to turning it in.

James in Bath: It's all well and good taking points against Man Utd, Tottenham and Chelsea, but Sunderland can't keep losing at home to the teams around them!

The Baggies are pressing for a second at the Hawthorns, and they almost get it when Saido Berahino is sent through in the area and fires a shot across the face of goal. Stoke have offered nothing in this game so far.

Niall Hughes: How did Poyet look at his back 4 in January and come to the conclusion that nobody needed replacing? Brown and O'Shea are awful.
