And that is that.
What a win for Sam Allardyce's Sunderland, who continue to rise.
Sunderland 2-0 Stoke
A few Olés! ringing around the ground now.
Stoke are still running but it's on empty.
The home fans are enjoying this - a rare win!
Sunderland 2-0 Stoke
Four minutes added on.
The home fans reckon they are there already.
Sunderland 2-0 Stoke
A very big win this. And Sunderland are running riot!
Jeremain Lens fluffs his lines, blazing wildly over.
Stoke look spent.

Kevin Kilbane
Former Everton winger on Final Score
"Watmore has talent and is so direct. He has pace and when he gets beyond defenders he finishes expertly."
Duncan Watmore
Wow.
A brilliant driving run and finish from Duncan Watmore - low and hard across the keeper.
Surely that is that. A massive win for Sunderland this.
Patrick van Aanholt
From a free-kick played short, Patrick van Aanholt blitzes one home on his left foot and Jack Butland is finally beaten.
Is this two wins a row? Are they out of the bottom three now?
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
Jeremain Lens brought down by Glen Johnson! The ref says no! Again!
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
Jeremain Lens picks out Steven Fletcher at the back stick, but Erik Pieters is there to intervene!
Brilliant clearance!
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
Under 10 minutes to go here now.
This would be a fifth consecutive clean sheet in league and cup for Jack Butland and co.
And they're looking pretty solid.
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
Another shout for a pen from the home fans - and again it's Steven Fletcher who's leading the call on the pitch.
He went down under Philipp Wollscheid's challenge. There was a minor tug. Minor. But nothing more.
Desperation setting in?
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
Sometime's you've just got to take your captain off.
John O'Shea makes way for Adam Johnson. Can he wing his way into an opening for Sunderland?
The final change for the home side.
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
Duncan Watmore may be full of energy but it has to be said - his touch ain't great.
Control lets the youngster down when he's found in the box - a rare opening in what's been a pretty tight last 10 minutes.
Especially surprising when you consider the numerical advantage. A better touch and he was in.
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
What a big last 20 minutes or so for Sam Allardyce's team.
Can they make this count?
Stoke seem to be dropping deeper... Is it gonna be all-out defence for them from here?
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
Even with the extra man Sunderland are struggling to get on top.
They had a little burst after Ryan Shawcross' red card, but there's no real sign of another spell like that turning up soon.
Lee Cattermole tries to rally the troops - just after almost playing DeAndre Yedlin in with a delicious through ball.
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
Sunderland have definitely been pressing higher up the pitch since the sending off.
But they've not been able to do much with it when they have won the ball back, and Stoke are still bossing possession.
Who's got 10 men again?
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
Second change for Stoke.
Mame Biram Diouf - a striker - on for Xherdan Shaqiri, who has done a lot in front of goal with little impact.
Diouf's muscularity could be exactly what the Potters need up top.
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
Was that a push by Geoff Cameron on Steven Fletcher in the box?
The Sunderland fans thought so - up went the roar - but there's nothing in it.
Cameron had his hand on him but no foul.
