81’ GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!! BA!!!
That should do it!
Aouchiche linked up well with Pritchard on the left before sending a cross to the back post.
Ba was there to convert with a first-time finish right in front of the away fans.
1-3!
80’ Kakay booked
Now Kakay has been booked after stopping Clarke’s run down the left.
Sunderland’s free-kick didn’t come to anything.
70’ Bellingham almost in
The ball almost ran through for Bellingham there, with only Begovic to beat.
The QPR keeper was quick off his line, though, and managed to collect the loose ball.
64’ Ba hits the post
Sunderland now look like they are playing in a 3-4-2-1 system, with Aouchiche and Roberts just behind Bellingham.
Bellingham managed to break forward down the left there before cutting the ball back across goal. Ba then hit the post from a tight angle.
57’ GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!! BALLARD!!!
It’s been coming!
Sunderland have been piling on the pressure at the start of this second half and now have their reward.
Pritchard’s in-swinging corner was only headed away to the edge of the box, where the Sunderland playmaker retook possession.
Pritchard then played a one-two with Roberts before seeing his low shot saved by Begovic.
Ballard was in space to convert the rebound.
1-2!
