Good evening ladied and gents. Welcome to LIVE text commentary between Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers.

FT Sunderland 0-2 QPR.

But QPR deal with the resulting corner and are now just stoppage time away from recording their first away win of the season. In February.

Alvarez's trickery has troubled QPR on their left side - and he wins Sunderland another corner.

QPR sub: Doughty ON, Isla OFF. Doughty on for his Premier League debut.

Then Larsson has a go from 20 yards, but it's tame and Green makes the save.

Alvarez gets to the byline and rolls the ball across the face of goal - but no one is there to tap it in.

Larsson swings the resulting free-kick to the far post but it's just too high and too fast for everyone.

Barton is booked for the seventh consecutive game, for a tug of Johnson's shirt.

Alvarez throws himself at a header at the far post, which Caulker defends well at the expense of a corner.

QPR sub: Zarate on, Fer off.

Fer has gone down injured - he won't be able to continue here.

Crazy challenge by Ferdinand on Defoe. Hauls him to the ground off the ball - definite yellow.

PENALTY? Defoe goes down under a clumsy challenge from Caulker, whose heavy-handed challenge could have gone against him.

GREEN AGAIN! Another top save by Green, who throws himself to his right to keep out Alvarez's low goalbound effort from 20 yards.

Pull-back from the left finds Fer, but the Dutchman miscues his shot from 12 yards.

GREAT SAVE! Another top stop by Green, who shows fine reactions to smother Defoe's effort from point blank range.

Wright-Phillips arrows in an early cross for Zamora, but Brown passes his first test and heads clear.

Less than 25 minute to go and QPR still have their two-goal lead intact. Sunderland lacking ideas, as they have all night.

Sunderland sub. Brown ON, Reveillere OFF.

Indeed, he cannot and Poyet is preparing Wes Brown here.
