A booking for Cabaye for another late challenge on Rose. Sunderland fortunate to be level, but they will take this all day long.

GOAL! An own goal off Ba and Sunderland level late in the game. Would you believe it? O'Shea met the free-kick with his head from Larsson. Hit off Ba. Massive own goal. No chance for Krul who was heading in the other direction.
86'

Williamson with a bit of a cynical challenge on Saha. Will take that booking at this stage of the contest.

David Vaughan takes over from Johnson for the home side. Last throw of the dice perhaps? This has been a miserable afternoon for the Blacks Cats.

Larsson sees a cross blocked by Simpson. Throws in a corner. Breaks to Saha at the back post, but he somehow manages to knock the ball into the side netting from five yards out.
82'
Steven Taylor rises to head clear a fairly aimless cross by Rose. Sunderland trying to rouse themselves for one final push.
81'
Newcastle break up a home attack. Ben Arfa plays in Ba, but solid piece of covering work by John O'Shea to close down the danger. Had to make that challenge.

Coloccini is going to depart the action to be replaced by Steven Taylor for the visiting side.
79'
In comes the corner. A few people go for the loose ball, but Newcastle, led by Coloccini, evetually deal with the danger to clear.
78'
McClean sends the ball into the box off the foot of Simpson. A corner to Sunderland which Larsson might well throw into the box.
77'
Pardew uses the time-out to have a quick word with Cabaye and Simpson at the side of the park. Can't really see his side being breached here today.
76'
Meanwhile, Coloccini is needing a bit of treatment here for cramp. He has been a giant for Newcastle today. Little wonder he is suffering from cramp.
75'
Gardner goes for goal. Sends a shot spinning over the opposing bar from 25 yards out. Never on target. Story of the Sunderland day in this contest.
74'
Ba darts through the middle. Mignolet comes out, but can't reach the loose ball and Sunderland can clear the danger.
73'
Sunderland have scored one Premier League goal in the second-half this season, less than any other team. Need another one from somewhere otherwise they are going to lose this match.
72'
Sunderland fans have been strangely muted during this contest. Martin O'Neill encouraging his side to get into the final third.
