Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
All over. An opportunity missed for Sunderland - they just could not find a way past Ben Foster.
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Can you believe it? Dame N'Doye puts the ball in the net, but he's half a yard offside. It was a tight call, but the right one...
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Four added minutes...
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
It just will not go in! Even the normally deadly Jermain Defoe can't find a way past Ben Foster. He's played in and has only the keeper to beat from five yards, but Foster sticks out a boot and repels the shot.
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
And now West Brom almost fluke on at the other end! Darren Fletcher's overhit free-kick nearly catches out a back-pedalling Vito Mannone, but he does well to recover and tip it over.
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
I thought that was in! Fabio Borini jinks inside onto his right foot in the area, and curls a shot goalward, but Ben Foster produces a brilliant sprawling save.
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
A change apiece. Victor Anichebe replaces Salomon Rondon for West Brom, and Dame N'Doye replaces Wahbi Khazri for Sunderland.

“Saido Berahino has had one of those games, nothing has gone for him and everything he’s tried hasn’t come off, these games come around every so often, so the right choice to replace him.”
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Jan Kirchhoff has been brilliant today. He times a tackle brilliantly, this time dispossessing Salomon Rondon.
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Saido Berahino is coming off, and coming on for his debut is Jonathan Leko, who is just 16 years old.
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Patrick van Aanholt whips a free-kick just wide. It just won't go in for the hosts.
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Boos ring out around the stadium as former Black Cat James McClean comes on for West Brom. His crime? Celebrating a bit too extravagantly when West Brom defeated Sunderland earlier this season...
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Ooh, nearly a sucker punch. Whipped in by Rondon and cleared from the six-yard box by Lamine Kone.
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
A bit of a lull now after that period of Sunderland pressure. The Black Cats have had 15 shots to West Brom's two...
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Tony Brown
Former West Brom striker on BBC WM 95.6
“The West Brom forward players have got to hold the ball up much better, they need to relive the pressure the defence is under, there is no target man for the midfield to aim for.”
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Wahbi Khazri wants a penalty when his cross hits Sandro on the top of his arm. Would have been harsh...
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Van Aanholt strikes from range, but it's wide to the right. Craig Gardner's got a nasty cut from a stray boot from Jan Kirchhoff, and is having his head patched up.
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Another big chance goes begging for Sunderland! DeAndre Yedlin whips a cross in from the right, Borini meets it in his stride but can't quite whip the ball inside the right-hand post.
Sunderland 0-0 West Brom
Saido Berahino very nearly gets on the end of a prod forward, but Younes Kaboul is there to shut the door.
