Hull City - Sunderland live updates

FULL TIME: Hull City 0 Sunderland 2

GOAL SUNDERLAND! And that’s that for Hull today. Defoe bundles it home from an offside position from Larsson’s free kick.

So there is time for Hull but Mbokani should have let the ball run with Niasse behind him. Borini wins a vital free kick.

Now Evandro has a go at the other end but he fires wide when perhaps a pass was the better option. Won’t be too much time added on as Anichebe is booked for preventing a quick free kick.

Sunderland break and only Maquire prevents a second as he cuts out Ndong’s poor cross.

That substitution has seen Hull revert to three at the back. They’re going for broke but is it too late?

A final change for Hull sees Evandro come on for Elmohamady.

Larsson goes for goal and Jakupovic punches behind. Odd, surely could have caught that!

Sunderland counter quickly and Elmohamady forced to bring down Anichebe and take one for the team. Time running out…

Hull force a late corner. Crossed in by Clucas, headed clear but it finds its way back to Ranocchia and Jones on hand with the block again.

A massive final ten minutes for Hull now. Can they find something? If they can’t, it will be a huge fillip for Swansea.

An incident now sees Honeyman hit the deck. He goes off to be replaced by Larsson.

All-out attack for Marco Silva now as Mbokani comes on to form a three-pronged attack.

Now Maguire goes down in the box and there are screams for a penalty but play rightly waved on.

SAVE! A magnificent save from Pickford to deny Hernandez from point blank range.

Looks like Mbokani is set to come on for Hull in place of N’Diaye. He has to roll the dice now.

CLOSE! But not close enough as Niasse fires just wide of Pickford’s far post.
