FT Newcastle 0-1 Sunderland. The Black Cats have done it and it's Johnson with the winner again!
90'+4
Sunderland sub: Rodwell on, Larsson off.
90'+2
OFF THE LINE! Larsson almost makes it two! He goes clean through, rounds Alnwick, but Coloccini gets back clear off the line.
90'+1
GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 Sunderland! Johnson has scored a late winner for Sunderland! The Black Cats pounce with a slick counter-attack - Larsson finds Buckley, who unselfishly tees up Johnson to fire in what looks like a late winner.
90'
Great effort by Sissoko! He drills an effort at goal from 25 yards that Pantilimon tips over!
88'
Newcastle sub: Cabella on, Ameobi off.
86'
Sunderland clear but Newcastle keeping up the pressure as Colback drills in a second cross, which is stabbed clear. Can Sunderland hang on?
84'
Newcastle win a corner as we approach the final five minutes.
81'
Sunderland sub: Buckley on, Wickham off.
78'
BIG CHANCE! Sunderland break at speed and Wickham slides an inch-perfect through ball to Johnson, who cuts inside Coloccini easily but guides his shot wide.
76'
Sissoko, who appears to have an injury problem, gives the ball to Fletcher, who pings it straight to Larsson, but the Scot puts a little too much on it and the chance is gone.
75'
Newcastle sub: Cisse on, Tiote off.
74'
CHANCE! Perez outfoxes Brown with a quick turn in the box but his shot is straight at Pantilimon. Another big chance for Newcastle.
73'
BIG CHANCE! Armstrong goes clean through and shoots straight at Pantilimon when he should have squared to the unmarked Sissoko. Another huge chance goes begging...
72'
Armstrong denied at the near post by Pantilimon, who was alert again.
71'
Sunderland sub: Bridcutt on, Cattermole off.
69'
O'Shea gets a yellow for a silly challenge on Sissoko.
65'
CHANCE! Sissoko inches away from converting Ameobi's cross! That flashed across the face of the Sunderland goal.
63'
WHAT A SAVE! Pantilimon pulls off a stunning one-handed save after Sissoko plays in Perez, whose effort from 20 yards seemed destined for the top corner.
61'
Decent effort by Janmaat, who gallops in from the right but his shot is off target.
