And that’s it. Great game.
Johnson slings it over but it is cleared. Ki’s effort is blocked – Gardner puts the ball back in but Alonso can’t get the required power on his header and Boruc saves!
Fletcher wins a corner after a quick break.
The final ball continues to lack here – but it is the Saints who are looking the more likely as nerves begin to set in in the home team.
Seven minutes of the added stuff.
Ward-Prowse wins a free-kick in the right channel but Lambert’s header is tame.
Expect some serious added time here now – can either side steal it? Sunderland the slight favourites now after those injuries.
Southampton send on Yoshida and Ward-Prowse.
Lovren is applauded off as he is carried from the field in considerable pain.
Lovren is also down with a turned ankle and there is a long hiatus for injuries to the Saints' players.
Ramirez charges forward at pace and evades a couple of challenges before Brown comes across to win the ball and takes the man too. Ramirez goes over on his ankle though and this could be serious.
Johnson, buoyed by his strike, cuts inside and sends a dipping effort on target. Boruc claims with relative ease though.
Offside – Sunderland really pressing here now.
Chambers thrashes a ball across the box now as both teams look for the win – has become a little frantic and the quality on show is beginning to wane.
Looks like Kelvin Davis could be coming on for Boruc who appears to be struggling.
Borini tracks all the way back to win a free-kick for the home side and he has been superb all day.
Sunderland load the box for the corner and an almighty scramble culminates in Boruc denying Fletcher at the near post. Sunderland making all the running here now.
Save! Boruc does well to turn away a snap volley from Gardner. Corner.
Shaw picks the ball up and runs at pace and thought he had won a corner but referee Foy thinks otherwise. Goal kick.
Sub: It is Ramirez for Lallana.
