AND THAT'S IT - Fulham have pinched all three points at the Stadium of Light! Paolo di Canio's men probably deserved a draw at least, but they were caught by a sucker punch just after half-time.
90 + 4'
…but Larsson’s kick is headed away by Hangeland.
90 + 4'
Free kick to Sunderland out wide on their left, level with the edge of the box….
90 + 3'
Fulham are very close to closing this game out, now…

BOOKING: Duff cynically pulls down Colback by the halfway line.
90 + 2'
Five minutes of added time...
90 + 1'
Johnson gets to the byline and crosses again – but this time Stockdale gathers under pressure.
90'
That could be game over for Di Canio's men... great chance.

CHANCE! Johnson skips past Kasami, puts a cross in, Dong-Won has a header on six yards…. and puts it wide!
88'
It was Celustka who went off for Sunderland, by the way.
87'
Johnson crosses from the right – Wickham tumbles in the box, but no foul apparent. Johnson tries again… but Hughes is there again to head away.

SUBSTITUTION: Wickham on for Sunderland. Di Canio really throwing everything into attack, here.

BOOKING – Berbatov is shown a yellow for dissent. He slams the ball into the ground after a decision goes against him. Silly.
83'
Giaccherini gets the ball wide on the left again, and he crosses towards Altidore… but Hughes is on hand to head away.
82'
Giaccherini dances to the byline again, this time on Sunderland’s left, but his cross is adjudged to have gone out of play.
81'
Cabral clips the ball towards Johnson in the Fulham box – but Briggs nods away comfortably. Stockdale is yet to be called into action…
80'
Sunderland need to conjure up a moment of magic here – the game’s lost a bit of it’s fizz at the moment…
79'
Sunderland press forward again – Altidore crosses from the right, but no-one is in the six yard box to capitalise.
75'
So, no appearance for Darren Bent today, after all - that was Fulham's third substitution.

SUBSTITUTION – FULHAM: Stekelenburg has hurt his shoulder in keeping Altidore out. His debut comes to an end and he is replaced by David Stockdale.
