    Cedric Kipre absorbs Sunderland's Patrick Roberts, who drops to the deck having been halted. Booking for the West Brom defender.

    Sunderland then take Roberts off and put 18-year-old Eliezer Mayenda on. The Spaniard is looking for a first Wearsiders goal.

    Massive claims for a penalty from Blackburn again, this time after Jake Garrett is seemingly brought down by Ethan Ampadu in the box.

    Referee Bobby Madley isn't interested, however.

    Meanwhile, Andrew Moran comes off with Dilan Markanday replacing him as we enter the final stages of this game.

    Sunderland 1-0 West Brom

    West Brom curl an outswinger into the box but Dan Ballard powers it away.

    Jeremy Sarmiento is livid his attempt to help a ball in hasn't been given as a West Brom corner.

    Alex Pritchard wore a free-kick on the bonce, and then had to go off for a minute. Really copped it. He's ok thankfully.

  4. GREAT SAVE!published at 14:12 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Blackburn 0-2 Leeds

    What a save!

    Andrew Moran sends a corner into the Leeds box which is met by Blackburn substitute Arnor Sigurdsson.

    His header is then spectacularly saved by a diving Illan Meslier to maintain Leeds' two-goal advantage.

    Sunderland 1-0 West Brom

    Any prospective Sunderland managers will know exactly what their task should they get the job, and the evidence is tangible here.

    They can score goals, albeit not as many as they'd like. They play smart football. They have creators across the pitch.

    All they lack is that ruthless penalty-box-predator. Easier to say than find.

    Alex Palmer deals with the latest Sunderland set-piece slugged into their box.

    Ex-Leeds defender on BBC Radio Leeds

    What a great goal.

    How well does Archie Gray do, a beautiful slide-through ball to Crycensio Summerville, then a little dink over the keeper - he had no chance.

    I'd like to say the game's buried but who knows - I've watched Leeds United enough.

    Game over?

    Crysencio Summerville continues his impressive form this season as he scores his ninth goal of the campaign so far.

    The Leeds winger works into space and is completely unmarked as he collects the ball on the edge of the box and dinks past Blackburn keeper Leopold Wahlstedt.

    Crysencio Summerville is sent down the left as Leeds break against Blackburn and he tees up Joel Piroe.

    But the Leeds man's effort is swiftly collected by Rovers keeper Leopold Wahlstedt.

    Breakthrough for Sunderland and it's a brilliant header for Dan Ballard.

    Sunderland had been peppering the box with crosses and passes, but no route through.

    After West Brom were coaxed into a foul, a perfect Alex Pritchard free-kick was guided powerfully at the near-post by Ballard beyond Alex Palmer.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 14:03 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Blackburn 0-1 Leeds

    A double change for Leeds.

    Sam Byram and goalscorer Dan James are withdrawn.

    Djed Spence and Wilfried Gnonto replace them for the final 20 minutes but can they hold onto their lead against Blackburn?

    Sunderland 0-0 West Brom

    Mike Dodds has the look of 'New England Patriots defensive co-ordinator' with his big puffer and cap, on the Sunderland touchline.

    He might be plotting another change, perhaps turning to a Mason Burstow, Nazariy Rusyn or even Bradley Dack.

    Great opportunity for Jack Clarke there.

    He knew it was, he's put his shirt over his head in disgust.

    Sunderland 0-0 West Brom

    Sunderland waste a great opportunity.

    Cross from the right swings all the way through to Jack Clarke at the back-post, but rather than cut-back to Patrick Roberts, he lashed it wildly into the side-netting.

    Missed chance.

    Sunderland 0-0 West Brom

    Darnell Furlong bashes into Sunderland winger Jack Clarke as he chases a loose ball.

    It was an old-school 'I'm still here' kind of challenge.

    Clarke has had the rough treatment all of his career.

    Trai Hume thunders into Tom Fellows - completely legally in the middle of the park for Sunderland. The fans love it.

    Blackburn 0-1 Leeds

    Blackburn keep pressing but they can't seem to find that elusive equaliser against Leeds.

    Their latest effort on goal comes as Harry Pickering whips in a cross from the left towards Hayden Carter, who heads over the bar.

    A yellow card for Blackburn, now.

    Adam Wharton goes into the book as he puts a challenge in on Ethan Ampadu.

    This game is heating up.
