90+3’ GOALLLL!!! STEWART!!!
Pritchard chips the ball across the box and Stewart heads home.
That’s his 20th of the season.
90+1’ Patterson saves again
Another save from the Sunderland keeper who denies Chapman from a tight angle.
89’ Winchester shot tipped over
That was close but Garratt tipped Winchester’s long-range shot over the bar.
85’ Time is running out
Another attempt from Sunderland falls flat as Clarke’s attempted pass to Pritchard is overhit.
Clarke has looked bright since he’s come on but it looks like it’ll be too little too late.
80’ Almost an own goal
Neil’s cross was almost headed into his own net by Shaughnessy but the ball went behind for a corner.
Moments later Clarke forced another save out of Garratt with a low shot.
