Hello and welcome to our live text commentary on the Premier League game between Sunderland and QPR at the Stadium of Light.

No option for the referee there a really dangerous challenge on Fraizer Campbell.

Craig Gardner lashes his free kick against the underside of the bar and then Cisse receives a straight red for a two footed lunge! What drama here in the space of a minute.

Derry concedes a dangerous free kick. Great chance for Sunderland.

QPR sub: Buzsaky on for Diakite.

Bendtner is down and clutching his back after a strong challenge from Onuoha. He's back on his feet.

Still a lack of urgency from QPR and too many hopeful long balls. They'll have to do better.

Cisse chases a long ball but Mignolet is alert to clear the danger. He has had little to do so far today.

Colback lays off to Vaughan but his shot is well over the bar.

Cross from Gardner just too strong for McClean. Bright start.

Early free kick to QPR who need to show the same fight as they did against Liverpool. Taarabt blasts it into the wall and Diakite lifts it over.

We're back underway here at the Stadium of Light and let's hope for a better half than the first. Thank goodness for Bendtner's goal as QPR now need to gamble to improve their chances of top flight survival. Zamora and Cisse have been poor so far.

Sunderland head clear the free kick and that's half time.

Bridge penalised and goes in the book. Good chance for QPR at the end of this half.

Zamora still being booed as he tries to work something at the end of this half.

Sunderland come forward but McClean can't keep it in. Cisse flagged offside.

QPR have a goal kick and play it out from the back. There are three added minutes.

Taiwo concedes another free kick. The game opening up a bit.

More great work from McClean down the left but QPR clear.

Great cross from Taiwo and Cisse has a great chance to head Rangers level immediately but Turner and Kyrgiakos get in the way to bundle it behind.

Now the game should open up and Rangers know what they must do now.

GOAL! And it's Bendtner who rises like a salmon to head in McClean's excellent cross. The game needed that.
