Minute By Minute
Bet on the match-
94 MinMany sides will leave here with less this season. It's FULL-TIME.
-
93 MinJohnson heads wide from a late Downing corner.
-
91 MinOnly three minutes!?
-
90 MinPepe's boot change means there'll be plenty of added time.
-
89 MinMartin O'Neill going bonkers as Martin Atkinson awards Liverpool a throw. It quite clearly came off Gerrard.
-
86 MinSubstitution: L. Saha for S. Fletcher
-
81 MinFirst Booking: Sebastian Larsson: Very late on Sterling.
-
80 MinShelvey is strong in the box...forces a good save from Mignolet...Suarez might get his head on the rebound...it's just too high for him.
-
79 MinLuis Suarez now has three goals in all competitions this season.
-
78 MinPepe Reina changing his boots?!
-
77 MinWin, lose or draw, this has been a decent enough display from Liverpool against a side who spent well this summer. Johnson and Sterling have stood out.
-
73 Min@jbcommentator Magic Raheem...just magic son.
-
72 MinSubstitution: F. Campbell for D. Rose
-
71 MinGOAL! Luis Suarez: Great play from Sterling to beat a man, his cross ricochets off Bramble and Suarez pounces.
-
69 MinSterling beats two and finds Suarez...his shot it blocked and then Johnson blasts over the bar.
-
65 MinGerrard cross ricocheted to Skrtel, whose header causes Mignolet to dive.
-
64 MinSubstitution: S. Downing for F. Borini
-
63 MinFirst Booking: Martin Skrtel: Mis-timed tackle on Sessegnon.
-
61 MinSunderland clinging on. Sterling crosses, Borini does well. Ball comes back to Shelvey who squares Gerrard. Shot hits the outside of the post.
-
56 MinSessegnon dribbles into the Liverpool box and again it is Johnson who stands in his way. Stewart Downing warming up.
-
51 MinQuality play by Glen Johnson...strides into the box, cuts inside and bends a shot towards goal...hits the crossbar.
-
50 Min@thekopmagazine Come on Titus lad, you're due another one for us.
-
49 MinA terrific ball into the six-yard box by Johnson but no one is there.
-
48 MinSterling wins a corner from O'Shea...comes to Skrtel whose shot is deflected wide by Suarez.
-
47 MinShelvey with a statement of intent early in this second period with a shot from 30 yards but it causes Mignolet little bother.
-
46 MinSECOND HALF
-
45 MinSubstitution: T. Bramble for C. Cuellar
-
45 MinHALF-TIME
-
40 MinJohnson might have prevented the cross coming in for the goal but for the third time today that's a great bit of defending, this time to stop Colback in the box.
-
37 MinFirst Booking: Luis Suarez: The Uruguayan beats one, beats another, then another...is he tripped in the box? Atkinson says no.
-
34 MinSterling change of pace sees him navigate the Sunderland defence but he is tripped on the edge of the area by Danny Rose. Suarez then hits the wall with the free-kick...and then complains that the wall wasn't 10 yards. Corner then cleared.
-
30 Min@jamespearceecho Another really poor goal conceded by #LFC after a good spell. That cross from Gardner should never have been allowed to come into the box.
-
29 MinGOAL! Steven Fletcher: Totally against the run of play, Fletcher taps home a Gardner cross driven between Reina and Skrtel.
-
25 MinBall drops to Borini after a Suarez lay off...tries to place it but that's a good reflex save from Mignolet.
-
22 MinSuperb defensive play by Johnson. Again. Liverpool passing it around nicely.

-
18 MinMignolet blocks after a weak back-header lets Borini in. The Italian blasted in when a pass to Suarez might have been more productive. Shelvey then skews the rebound well wide.
-
18 MinGreat defending by Johnson to prevent the pacy Sessegnon getting a cross in.
-
14 MinLiverpool dominant in these early stages. Sterling picks out Borini, who cannot decide whether to shoot or cross. In the end Mignolet gathers.
-
11 MinSuarez picks up possession midway inside the Sunderland half and runs at his men...finds a yard of space to shoot but like Shelvey before him he drags wide.
-
9 MinSteven Fletcher is grounded by a high foot from Skrtel. Looks like his ribs that are hurting.
-
6 MinWeighted pass from Gerrard unlocks the home defence...Johnson's cross doesn't find a man though.
-
5 Min@tonybarrettimes Brilliant message of support for the Hillsborough families on the Stadium of Light scoreboard. Top class.
-
4 MinShelvey looks up on the edge of the box but drags his shot wide.
-
3 MinSunderland fans clapping 'Justice for the 96' chants.
-
2 MinMessage on the Sunderland scoreboard reads: "The Hillsborough tragedy had a profound effect on football as a whole and the thoughts of all of us at SAFC are with everyone affected by the tragic events of April 15th 1989. You'll Never Walk Alone."
-
1 MinKICK-OFF
-
-1 MinThe Apprentice music blaring out at the Stadium of Light.
-
-1 MinLiverpool have suffered only three defeats at Sunderland in the last 27 league meetings going back to 1959. They have won 16 and drawn eight. However, they have lost two in the last three.
-
-1 MinSunderland are the last team in England to play a home league game this season following the postponement of the game with Reading due to a waterlogged pitch three weeks ago. The last Premier League game there saw them lose 1-0 to Manchester United on the dramatic final day of last season.
-
-1 MinReferee Martin Atkinson has sent off four Liverpool players in the 31 games he has taken charge of. The Reds' last visit to the North East - at Newcastle in April - saw him dismiss Pepe Reina.
-
-1 MinNo Adam Johnson for Sunderland today because of injury. Steven Fletcher is in the line-up, he's a boyhood Red.
-
-1 MinTwo changes for Liverpool today, with Shelvey and Kelly replacing Sahin and Enrique
