    Time:90'
    • Newcastle United
    • Sunderland
    • - Newcastle are 15th and Sunderland 13th after this draw: three points is the difference between them.
    • 90+6' The match ends all-square. A great encounter, and a fair result - it is just a shame that Newcastle's goal was as a result of an unfair penalty decision.
    • 90+5' REID WHIPS A SHOT MILLIMETRES WIDE OF THE POST!! That looked destined to sneak in - great effort by the left-footed player.
    • 90+4' Jones closes down and Harper is out of his penalty box quickly to clear...
    • 90+3' Chopra fighting in the box as Taylor struggles to deal with the dropping ball... he wins it, but it rolls out for a goal-kick. He wants a penalty, but no cigar.
    • 90+2' Newcastle change: David Edgar for Coloccini.
    • 90+2' Sunderland change: Grant Leadbitter on for Malbranque.
    • 90+2' The Toon fans appeal for a penalty for handball, but Webb does not give them a second spot-kick - Gutierrez crossed and Bardsley blocked, with the ball then hitting his arm.
    • 90' There are five minutes of injury-time to play, plenty of time for a winner.
    • 88' Bobby Robson looks on as the clock and nerves wear thin.
    • 85' Chopra through on goal after charging down Coloccini... Bassong peels away from him to mark Jones at the back post... HE TRIES TO SQUARE IT ANYWAY - AND IT IS TOO FAR AHEAD OF JONES!! He should have gone for goal himself - and the ball was in the air too, schoolboy stuff.
    • 83' Toon change: Peter Lovenkrands on for Carroll.
    • 82' Duff bends a shot past the far top corner. It was about a foot high and a foot wide.
    • 81' Reid with a toe-poked shot from 20 yards that is over the near post. Not a bad effort.
    • 80' Toon have the ball in the net, but the flag is up for offside.
    • 79' Ameobi should have made it 2-1 to Newcastle!! Fulop came out and missed a cross and the striker didn't expect it as he arrived at the back post... the goal was at his mercy.
    • 78' Taylor heads a corner at goal, his effort blocked on the line... Jones doesn't quite clear and Sunderland somehow survive!!
    • 76' This match could go either way - it is as frantic as in the first minute and illustrates perfectly the appeal of the Premier League.
    • 74' Richardson looks to replicate his banged effort at the Stadium of Light - this time it shoots over the bar.
    • 73' Jones bring the ball down and has space to shoot inside the box... Bassong blocks well and it falls to Reid... saved by Harper!! Malbranque fouled on the edge of the box.
    • 71' Jones comes inside and lets fly, way over the crossbar. Sunderland change: Andy Reid on for Edwards.
    • 68' AMEOBI SMASHES IT INTO THE ROOF OF THE NET!! 1-1!! It is his 50th goal in the colours of the Toon - dispatched with Fulop going the wrong way.
    • 67' Taylor with the ball attacking the by-line... Malbranque is with him and the defender goes down... PENALTY FOR NEWCASTLE!! Even the home fans seem surprised after their half-hearted appeals. Webb got that one wrong - there was barely any contact.
    • 65' Gutierrez flicks the ball down the wing away from McCartney, who gets some of his trailing leg and the Argentine goes down. Yellow card.
    • 63' A lull in tempo for perhaps the first time in this match. That will suit the Black Cats.
    • 60' Jones on his feet but limping. And barely has play resumed when Carroll lands awkwardly on his ankle after an aerial challenge with Ferdinand.
    • 57' Jones tearing forward, met with a crunching tackle from Sebastien Bassong!! He took the ball and also the man - but it was fair. Jones is hurt.
    • 55' Sunderland change: former Newcastle striker Michael Chopra on for a hobbling Cisse.
    • 53' Damien Duff finally involved in an attack, taking the ball into his stride in the box; he goes down under a challenge from Anton Ferdinand... no penalty!! And to rub salt into the wound Webb shows him a yellow card for diving. An excellent decision - the ref was in a great position too.
    • 51' Nolan tearing into the area, but cannot control and the ball runs out for a goal-kick. He also had a shot saved before that by Fulop on the turn.
    • 50' Gutierrez working to get the ball into the danger area from the left... Fulop comes to claim but does not get there and the ball comes off a Sunderland head... it is coming down under the crossbar... and George McCartney heads it over from on the line!!
    • 49' Cisse hareing down the left, with Richardson in the middle... he pulls a rubbish shot wide of the back post.
    • 48' Whitehead protests his innocence to Howard Webb after he was ruled to have fouled Ameobi. The striker sees another shot blocked inside the box from the resulting kick... how many of those is he going to suffer today?
    • 46' The second half underway at St James'. A massive 45 minutes for the Toon, who are one point away from the bottom of the Premier League.
    • 45+1' The half-time whistle sounds. Sunderland have defended stoutly and deserve their lead; the Geordie faithful may not enjoy their pints and pies quite as much as the Mackems in the bitter cold...
    • 45' Ameobi flicks to Gutierrez, who tries to return the favour with a bent ball down the wing for the frontman... straight out of play. Poor.
    • 43' A couple of angry exchanges, the last of which sees Carroll bump into Fulop to try and knock him outside the box after he claimed the ball before him - the keeper isn't having that.
    • 40' After good battling by Enrique in the corner, Gutierrez also puts a solid foot in and sneaks past a man - his cross from the by-line is cleared with the fans begging for an equaliser.
    • 39' Harper out quickly to get to the ball first under extreme pressure. At the other end Ameobi attacks a shot but it is blocked again - superb defence from the away side.
    • 38' Jones wins a header but Harper collects easily enough.
    • 37' Fulop spills a looping ball but reclaims it at the second attempt. Those Sunderland fans packed away in the rafters of St James' must have skipped a heartbeat.
    • 35' Gutierrez surging past his man - and taken out by Richardson!! Howls of outrage and the most obvious yellow card awarded in the history of the game of association football.
    • 32' GOAL FOR SUNDERLAND!! Coloccini lazy coming out from the back as the ball is lobbed back through, playing Cisse on - his first shot is saved by Harper, but he sticks the rebound into the open net!!
    • 30' Ameobi's shot from 20 yards is blocked.
    • 30' Edwards's corner is shocking.
    • 29' Jones up to win the header and Cisse is on to it down the right side of the penalty area... he whips in a shot from the narrow angle - tipped over by Harper!! It took a nick off Fabricio Coloccini.
    • 29' Enrique wins a throw-in close to his own corner flag. Sunderland started the better, but Newcastle are now in the ascendancy.
    • 27' Steven Taylor gallops down the right and cuts back to Ameobi... his shot is sliced well over the bar. He snatched at it - three goals in 15 appearances this season for Shola.
    • 25' Toon boss Joe Kinnear tense on the touchline, as is his Sunderland counterpart Ricky Sbragia. This match is a pleasure to watch for the neutrals - who knows how the partisan fans are feeling though!
    • 22' Butt booked after he went in late on Dean Whitehead. There is no way this match is going to end with 22 players on the field.
    • 22' Enrique sends in a cross from the left WHERE CARROLL HEADS ON TO THE BAR!! It looped down, hit the woodwork and went over.
    • 19' From a position on the right he bends it with his left foot... everyone leaves it AND IT COMES OFF THE POST!! Kenwyne Jones shoots from inside the box AND DEBUTANT NOLAN CLEARS OFF THE LINE!!!
    • 18' Gutierrez fells Richardson, who picks himself up to take the free-kick...
    • 17' Jonas Gutierrez brings the ball down on the touchline - and is chopped down by Phil Bardsley!! Bad tackle, deserving of a yellow card.
    • 16' Nicky Butt sends in a free-kick which Ameobi controls, turns and shoots... Marton Fulop makes the save.
    • 14' Richardson fouls Jose Enrique as the tempo refuses to abate. No one has any time on the ball!!
    • 12' Ameobi tries his luck from 18 yards, but the shot is blocked. There are bodies flying in all over the place whenever anyone gets close to either penalty area...
    • 10' Plenty of argy bargey in the early stages as Richardson is hit but does not need treatment. The fans are willing their players onward.
    • 8' Sunderland pressured by Newcastle front men Shola Ameobi and Carroll... then at the other end it is Harper who has to smash the ball into the stand under pressure. There is a pressure-cooker atmosphere.
    • 6' Djibril Cisse with a run in midfield and shot, well wide of the mark.
    • 4' Kieran Richardson whips it in and Carlos Edwards - perhaps the surprise starter on the right - jumps into Steve Harper after the keeper collects under pressure. Shay Given, for so long the first choice in black and white stripes, is having a medical at Manchester City.
    • 3' After a hefty challenge from Andrew Carroll - who used to hold a season ticket at St James' - Sunderland threaten, Steed Malbranque shutting down a clearance. Free-kick on the touchline for the Black Cats.
    • 2' Newcastle's fans making a helluva lot of noise: they know they are on the slide - and should their neighbours stick it to them today, they will be in dire trouble.
    • 1' The match underway in Newcastle. Scroll down to see the line-ups.
    • - Kevin Nolan makes his Newcastle debut following his move from Bolton. And what a baptism it will be: they're saying this is one of the biggest derbies in the North East for years.
