...Yohan Cabaye takes the free-kick but Costel Pantilimon strides off his line to punch away. Palace regain possession, and then win a corner, which comes to nothing.
Alan Pardew will be fuming with his side's set-pieces tonight.

Goalscorer Jermain Defoe is injured. He hobbles off and Sam Allardyce makes a change. A defensive one to protect the lead? No, on comes striker Danny Graham.
Bold.

That's woken Palace up though as they go straight on the attack and Yohan Cabaye forces a one-handed save from Costel Pantilimon.
A big seven minutes coming up for both sides now. Can Sunderland hold on to a precious win?

BBC Radio 5 LiveQuote MessageDann did not deal with it, he let the ball run instead of dealing with it. Defoe got the wrong side of Dann, who made the tackle and pushed the ball past his own keeper. Don’t start trying to be clever, Dann could not have made it any easier for Defoe. He should have done the easy thing - cleared the ball away when he had a chance.

Jermain Defoe
What an absolute gift for Sunderland!
Shocking defending by Palace as first Yannick Bolasie gives the ball away, and Jermain Defoe races in to pounce on the loose ball. Scott Dann comes over to try and shield the ball, but then pokes an attempted clearance past his own goalkeeper, leaving Defoe to race through and roll the ball into the empty net.

BBC Radio 5 LiveQuote MessagePatrick van Aanholt has been brilliant tonight - his willingness to get forward, the way he has played defensively. He has been criticised a lot this season but he has been superb this evening.

Duncan Watmore, nicknamed 'the Ginger Messi' displays a bit of the Barcelona forward's trickery to wriggle into the area on the right and feed a pass to Jeremain Lens, whose low shot almost catches out Wayne Hennessey, but the Palace keeper just about manages to smother the ball.

BBC Radio 5 LiveQuote MessagePalace boss Alan Pardew is looking very frustrated. For a team that prides itself on their set-piece delivery, it has been awful tonight. Sunderland's players are really working hard to help each other out.

Yannick Bolasie has a go from the edge of the box as Palace come forward again, good power behind the shot but it is straight at Costel Pantilimon. Patrick Bamford zones in, hoping for a loose ball, but Pantilimon holds.

Bakary Sako only came on at half time but he is heading off now, replaced by Patrick Bamford. Did he tweak something when taking the free-kick? He applauds the Palace fans as he walks towards the bench, but doesn't look to be limping.

Free-kick and Sunderland break again, Wilfried Zaha winning a free-kick when Yann M'Vila sticks out a boot and takes him down on the edge of the Palace area. A yellow card for M'Vila, who then heads Bakary Sako's free-kick behind for a corner.

Yannick Bolasie's ball into the box runs through to Wilfried Zaha, whose cross is put behind for corner. Yet again, it is wasted by Crystal Palace, but they come forward again through Connor Wickham, who shoots over. The home side look to have stepped things up a bit now.
