FT
And it's all over! It ends goalless, but what a breathtaking conclusion that was. Thanks for joining!

Close! Bacuna floats a ball in and Benteke nearly gets his head on it, but Pantilimon rushes out to clear.
90+3'
Giaccherini is the latest name in the book.
90+2'
Replays show that Guzan got a touch to that Gomez shot. What a save.

90'
Chance at the other end! The ball falls to Bacuna inside the box but his shot is parried clear by Pantilimon.
89'
Off the post! Gomez nearly wins it for Sunderland, thumping a rasping effort from range, which beats Guzan but not the post.
86'
The visitors continue to knock on the door. Villa holding on now and just hoping to ride this out.

76'
A Villa corner comes in and Vlaar's backward header at the near post is well parried by Pantilimon.
75'
More good work from the Villa youngster Jack Grealish. He runs down the left and pulls it back and it's just begging for someone to get on the end of it.
74'
Grealish cuts in onto his right foot and curls one towards the far post. Not far wide.
73'
Johnson sees yellow for a clumsy foul as he desperately tried to track back.

69'
Third and final change for Villa as Jack Grealish comes on for Cleverly.
68'
Goalmouth scramble! Johnson gets to the by-line, cuts it back, and the ball bobbles aimlessly but dangerously in the six yard box before drifting wide.
