And that is that. The final whistle goes. Honours even but maybe Hull, with Dame N'Doye, had the better chances.

...but Patrick Robertson fires wide from outside the box.

Poyet is on his way down...

Seconds after I write that van Aanholt slices way, way wide when he had no right to shoot. Hull now build...

Not only going forward, but in defence too Patrick van Aanholt has looked very good since coming on. He tidies up at the back, and fellow sub Ricardo Alvarez teases the Hull right-back.

There are FIVE minutes added on. Next goal wins.

Jack Rodwell again! A huge chance to win it for Sunderland. Another great run by van Aanholt, it's on a plate for Rodwell, but he volleys over. Two minutes to go!

Free-kick to Hull in a wide position on the left as the home side work the ball into Sunderland's final third.

Ricardo Alvarez goes in the book for not going back the whole way. The home fans are restless - they'd been leading for so long - and the set-piece is a poor one, too high for Paul McShane.

Sunderland seem to be coming back into this. Patrick van Aanholt and Ricardo Alvarez have given the team a much needed lift.

Maybe the view from up high helped old Gus in the end?

Dame N'Doye misses a golden opportunity to put his side back in front. Costel Panitlimon denies his close-range header, and celebrates likes he's stopped a penno. Superb fist-pump.

A yellow apiece. Seb Larsson for the challenge, Andrew Robertson for the reaction.

Jack Rodwell made it absolutely sure, but it could well have been Patrick van Aaanholt's goal. And he'd just come on!

Van Aanholt beats his man with a lovely chest-down, crosses over McGregor, and Rodwell nods in, via his arm. A shout for handball there, but Sunderland are back with it.

Jake Livermore ends a lovely sweeping Hull move by firing tamely at Costel Pantilimon. Could that miss be costly?

Jermain Defoe blasts one straight down the throat of Hull's 'keeper.

Also a change for the visitors as Connor Wickham and Patrick van Aanholt replace Santiago Vergini and Danny Graham.

Nikica Jelavic gets a deserved ovation from the home support, with Abel Hernandez coming on in his place.

A lovely, teasing cross from Jake Livermore doesn't find the man it deserves, but Andrew Robertson, looking for his first goal for Hull, comes closer. His curled strike looked great until it sailed a few yards over the top corner of Sunderland's goal. Chances aplenty for both sides here.

It's that man again! Dame N'Doye starts a move in his own half, laying it out wide to Ahmed Elmohamady, but cannot convert the cross and heads behind. Great moustache, but poor finish.

Jack Rodwell! Had you forgotten about him? He almost gave you very good reason to remember with a fierce shot from outside the box. Allan McGregor had to be alert, and made the shot look tamer than it was as he gathered.

For Sunderland, Ricardo Alvarez comes on for the booked Lee Cattermole.

It's kicking off again here. Lee Cattermole is involved and he goes in the book for a cynical challenge on David Meyler. Former team-mates, though you'd never know it. For a moment one or several too many players get involved in the 'discussion', but tempers are cooled.

Could we have put that down to Poyet? John O'Shea flashes a header just wide from a corner!

And down the other end Dame N'Doye forgets how to play football for a vital second, shanking a shot way, and I mean way, over the bar when well-placed in the box. Hull opened them up on the counter there. Double close!
