Sunderland - Liverpool live updates

Mignolet to the rescue.

Great work again form Januzaj and he looks to have been fouled by Milner close to the corner flag. Should have been a free kick to Sunderland.

Sturridge goes for goal again and Mannone denies him, sprawling across goal.

Larsson’s ball finds Defoe and catches him by surprise. Had he controlled it, that was another chance for Sunderland.

STAT: Sunderland have converted each of their last 22 penalties in the Premier League since a Sebastien Larsson miss on 4 December 2011 against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The game being played at a rattling tempo. Been a really good opening half and Sunderland are not overawed in any way.

SHOTS: Liverpool 4-9 Sunderland

Now Milner booked for a foul on Borini.

That was a great ball from Januzaj and Borini could have done better on his follow up from Mignolet’s save. Sunderland with their tails up at the moment.

CHANCE! And Defoe is clean through on goal. He tries to take it past Mignolet but the keeper’s hand stretches out to save Liverpool!

Jermain Defoe has now scored seven goals in seven PL appearances for Sunderland in January, including a double in the 3-1 home victory against Aston Villa on this exact day last year.

GOAL SUNDERLAND! And Defoe makes no mistake, a great penalty right into the corner with Mignolet guessing right.

PENALTY! Klavan’s clumsy challenge on Ndong gives Sunderland a lifeline!

A raking ball from Rodwell seeks out Defoe but there’s too much on it and it’s easy for Mignolet.

Daniel Sturridge has now scored in each of his last four PL appearances against Sunderland (3 for Liverpool, 1 for Chelsea).
