    Sunderland corner, hits the first defender. Rubbish.

    Ellis Short looks on in contemplative mood. Already looking up travel plans for Bramall Lane?

    Manchester United could have fun here as Sunderland belatedly commit men forwards and it breaks down. However, Paul Pogba plays a woeful ball and the chance has gone. Must do better.

    Mkhitaryan was just drifting in from the left side. It was a good ball from Shaw and he took a good touch inside left of Clattermole. He just touches it out of his feet and through Pickford's legs and it's all too easy.

  4. ouch!

    Could Jordan Pickford have done better with both goals today? Hard to say.

    He's off his line quickly to clear a long ball over the top and he clatters into Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the wind taken from both men's sails there. Oooooof!

    Both men go down in a heap but they are able to continue.

    Mkhitaryan finds the cornerpublished at 46 mins

    Sunderland 0-2 Manchester United

    Well if Jose Mourinho wanted his side to put this game to bed early in the second half his plan went to perfection.

    A Sunderland player had not touched the ball when Henrikh Mkhitaryan is picked out on the edge of the area, on the left-hand side, and he slots a low shot through the legs of Lamine Kone and past Jordan Pickford to find the bottom corner.

    Excellent finish from the Armenian.

    Vince Kenny: Why bother with 2nd half after that decision? Give Man Utd the points and let's all go home.

    Graham Ball: Pawson looks like the kind of ref who will even it out in the second half. So Felliaini, Rojo or Shaw to walk!

    Ryan Wicks:  If United win this match then Fellaini will go down as (I think) the only captain in United's history with a 100% win rate...

    Victory here would see Manchester United climb into fifth spot, ahead of Arsenal, who play Crystal Palace on Monday night.

    Here come the men in blue, led out by Marouane Fellaini.

    Tom Wilkinson: What part of "Don't go in with your foot raised" is hard to understand? Definite red card

    RegularJon: Larsson dived in twice in a row so can't complain too much about the red. Hope they go down after cheering City's 2012 PL win!

    Nick Clohessy: This is the same referee who thought Rojo's 2 footed studs up lunge on Zaha was only a yellow card this season. No consistency.

    Wahbi Khazri, Fabio Borini, er, Darron Gibson and Steven Pienaar.

    Plenty of options on the bench for David Moyes as he tries to mastermind a comeback which from here looks unlikely at best.

    Gareth in Greenwich:  That wasn't a foul, and if it was then it wasn't as bad as Luke Shaw's early one. Sunderland struggle at 11 v 11 but at 10 v 12 they've got no chance. Absolute joke.

    To be honest I don't see any relation between that Seb Larsson challenge and the one by Neil Taylor on Seamus Coleman.

    But he's been sent off now, what's done is done. Can the 10-men of Sunderland rally and find an unlikely win? That's the main question.

    It's the height of his foot. Seb Larsson gets the ball but it's the follow through that the referee has deemed dangerous. If there's such a thing as an orange card it's probably in there.

    Given some recent challenges that have gone on, like on Seamus Coleman, when you see a challenge like that irrespective of whether you get the ball, the referees are cracking down on it.

  16. 'Stern test for Leicester'published at 14:22 British Summer Time 9 April 2017

    Everton v Leicester (16:00 BST)

    Steve Bower
    Match of the Day commentator

    After their remarkable run of six straight wins under Craig Shakespeare, Leicester's form will face a stern test at Goodison Park.

    Everton have lost just once at home in the league under Ronald Koeman and have won all six so far in this calendar year.

    The Everton boss has given younger players opportunities and that has given them a freshness and energy that they hope will help them finish the season strongly.

    Leicester went into the weekend in their highest league position since September, a sign of the turnaround since  Claudio Ranieri's departure.

    Another challenge will be to focus fully on a seventh win in a row with a Champions League quarter-final in Madrid on the horizon.

    It's looking like a long road home from here for Sunderland - but there's one game still to come later of course.

    Jeremiah Kariuki: So unfair of Sunderland fans booing Herrera! He didn't make any drama out of the Larsson attack!

    Dec: That's the worst decision in the history of football

    Oscar Lowe:  Undeserved red card that! Pawson bottles it again knowing he'll get pressure from Mourinho after the match. Referees are a joke

    That's cleared that up then. Red or no red?

    Bisa Amoo-Gottfried: That red card is definitely a result of the "Seamus Coleman" effect.

    Joshua Dagnall: Yes Larsson's tackle was a red card. But I have seen Rojo do worse on multiple occasions and not get sent this yea

    Alex McNeil: Fair to say that was never a red
