42'

Still in the Sunderland half - a tribute to West Brom's positioning andd organisation, this.

41'

Sunderland play the ball around in their own half. A few shouts of frustration urging them to get it forward.

40'

An old-fashioned long ball is hoofed up towards Long, who is beaten in the air by Cuellar.

39'

Rose is scythed down by Morrison as he attempts to come away on the break. Badly-timed challenge and that's an obvious yellow card.

37'

Long, who has already been wrongly booked for diving, is now harshly penalised for an alleged push. He reacts in commendably restrained fashion.

36'

Decent free-kick position from which Larsson can deliver an inswinger... but it's over everyone and bounces harmlessly out.

35'

There's the change we expected - Craig Gardner on for Cattermole. John O'Shea takes the captain's armband for Sunderland.

34'

Lee Cattermole is struggling with what looks like a knee injury. Craig Gardner is getting stripped...

33'

Hard to believe Steve Clarke was working under Kenny Dalglish. at Liverpool.. if they'd switched the jobs they might have been OK.

32'

West Brom repeal a Larsson corner, then a follow-up cross... then O'Shea tries to bend one into the top-right corner. It floats over.

31'

Cracking goal from Gera, and West Brom are at it again! The virtual table has them third - and victory will push them up to two points per game.

30'

GOAL! Great finish from Zoltan Gera! He picks it up 20 yards from goal after a scrappy passage of play, and curls a left-foot shot beyond Mignolet into the top-right corner.

28'

Stat from Infostrada: 'Sunderland have scored three goals in their four PL home matches this season, and have not scored more than once since a 2-2 draw with Bolton on April 28.'

27'

Mignolet cannot hold a cross from the West Brom left at the first attmpt, but takes the ball on the first bounce.

26'

Another Sunderland free-kick from wide on the right is headed clear by the ever-reliable Olsson.

25'

Larsson delivers a pacy, swerving free-kick for SESSEGNON!! His low glancing header is parried by Myhill and it is put behind for another corner.

24'

Sunderland win a free-kick 15 yards inside West Brom territory. The atmosphere at the Stadium of Light is not exactly electric.

22'

Incidentally, the Sky Sports commentators were convinced O'Shea had been sent off there. A bit of an embarrassment for them - as a fellow maker of gaffes, I extend my sympathies.

21'

The replay shows Long was very unlucky to get booked for diving there. Not necessarily worth a second yellow for O'Shea, but it definitely wasn't a dive.

20'

Long booked for diving! He goes down under a challenge from O'Shea, who had already been booked. Hearts in mouths for Sunderland as Mike Dean gets his cards out but he shows it to the West Brom forward!

19'

Sunderland growing into this game at last.... but West Brom are on the attack here.
