    Stoke 2-2 Leicester

    Stoke have started playing again now after a half-hearted second half - Glenn Whelan hits a swerver from 25 yards out and Kasper Schmeichel makes the save...

    Sunderland 1-0 Watford

    Watford free-kick on the edge of the area. Jose Holebas stands over it but it goes sailing over the bar. Cue exasperated face. 

  4. INJURY TIMEpublished at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2016

    West Ham 1-0 Hull

    Harry Maguire is in the area again, the centre-back has been more of an attacker today but his shot is easily held by Darren Randolph.

    Four minutes are added on.

    Middlesbrough 3-0 Swansea

    Gylfi Sigurdsson is muscled off the ball by Marten de Roon and Swansea make an appeal for a penalty, which is waved away by the ref.

    Sigurdsson was knocked off balance, but I think Neil Swarbrick has made the right decision, there.

    Stoke were 2-0 up and have had an extra man - that should have been enough there for the Potters.

    Odion Ighalo hits a powerful volley and Jordan Pickford is forced into his second save in quick succession.

    Daniel Amartey (88 mins)

    Daniel Amartey is having a party! Jamie Vardy can sit this one out.

    Leicester do equalise with 10 men as Amartey rises highest in the middle of a group of players to thump home Christian Fuchs' excellent cross from the right.

    Stoke 2-1 Leicester

    Stoke enduring a nervy ending to this game now - though Leicester have not created a chance of note since Leonardo Ulloa headed them back into contention.

    Middlesbrough 3-0 Swansea

    Substitute Leroy Fer latches on to the ball and volleys straight at goal, but it bounces off the head of Ben Gibson, who didn't know much about it. Looked like a stinger. 

    Middlesbrough go on the counter attack and Fabio gets into fifth gear before laying it off to George Friend, who shoots over the bar.

    Sunderland 1-0 Watford

    Jose Holebas weaves his way into the penalty area and takes a shot but he's denied by the Sunderland keeper. 

    Sunderland manager David Moyes has sent on a defensive reinforcement in the shape of John O'Shea as they look to keep hold of the three points. And what an important three points it could be.

    Hull are falling to the bottom of the table as things stand. Can they get a goal now? We are into the last 10 minutes.

    There is minimal contact. I don't think Huddlestone has done much wrong.

    It is soft.

    Middlesbrough 3-0 Swansea

    Swansea complete their third and final substitution as Wayne Routledge comes off and Jefferson Montero comes on.

    The match camera points to the freezing cold away fans, who have travelled 320 miles to watch their team get well beaten. Our thoughts are with them.
