SUNDERLAND 0-1 LIVERPOOL - OFF THE BAR!!!
So close to an equaliser! Ten-man Sunderland are on the attack and the ball is laid off to Adam Johnson 25 yards out. He takes a touch to control and lets fly with a swerving left-footed strike. Simon Mignolet can’t get to it and almost cowers in the Liverpool goal as it cannons back off the crossbar and away.

Graeme Bailey reports: “Sunderland will need a re-think with Liam Bridcutt getting a second yellow for bringing down Emre Can who was surging forward from midfield. Silly challenge.”

SUNDERLAND 0-1 LIVERPOOL - BRIDCUTT SENT OFF
Any chance Sunderland had of getting back in this appears to be gone. Emre Can has too much pace for Liam Bridcutt, already booked, down the right wing and the Black Cats midfielder brings him down with a silly push. It’s soft, but it’s a second yellow card and he’s off.

HALF-TIME SUBSTITUTION - GERRARD OFF!
The Stadium of Light may have seen Steven Gerrard for the final time - he's replaced by Dejan Lovren due to a tight muscle problem. Emre Can will push up to midfield.

FIRST-HALF SUMMARY
Graeme Bailey reports: “Boos ring out around the Stadium of Light at half-time and Liverpool will be wondering how they are leading Sunderland by just one goal. Lazar Markovic's goal is the difference, but he should have had a penalty before he opened the scoring on eight minutes. He also hit the bar, whilst Fabio Borini, Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson all went close. Simon Mignolet was a virtual spectator in the away goal.”

SUNDERLAND 0-1 LIVERPOOL - BORINI WASTEFUL
Fabio Borini makes a good run off the shoulder of last defender Wes Brown. He only has Costel Pantilimon to beat but, having rounded the goalkeeper, shoots into the side-netting from a narrow angle. Should have done better.

SUNDERLAND 0-1 LIVERPOOL - REDS ON TOP
This is more like it from Liverpool. They get forward in numbers now as Fabio Borini controls, holds up play and lays the ball off to Steven Gerrard. The visitors have players queuing up but Gerrard takes a left-footed shot on first-time which is straight at Costel Pantilimon.

SUNDERLAND 0-1 LIVERPOOL - HENDERSON HANDBALL
Philippe Coutinho lofts an excellent pass over the top to Jordan Henderson, who appears to bring the ball down with his chest before turning well and striking an effort against the post. Henderson had his arms raised and the referee - incorrectly, it seems - adjudges him to have handled.

Steven Gerrard runs across Liam Bridcutt on halfway and the Sunderland midfielder sticks out his leg to trip the Liverpool skipper. And now Philippe Coutinho receives a booking for not allowing Santiago Vergini to take a quick free kick. Gus Poyet looks furious with Coutinho!

SUNDERLAND 0-1 LIVERPOOL - OFF THE BAR!!!
Lazar Markovic - you have arrived, my friend. The summer signing struggled in the first half of the season but he’s stealing the show here. He should have had a penalty early on, then scored the goal, and now he rattles the crossbar with a spectacular half-volley from 20 yards out.

SUNDERLAND 0-1 LIVERPOOL - VERGINI BOOKED
Santiago Vergini struggles to get the ball from Alberto Moreno and reverts to flinging out his arm towards the face of the Spanish full-back. Moreno makes a meal of it but it’s silly from Vergini. Steven Gerrard’s resulting free kick is tipped over by Costel Pantilimon.
