Still goalless after 15 minutes at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland are happy to sit in and spring forward on the counter, but Liverpool are beginning to stamp their authority with longer spells of possession. The visitors look patient, probing for gaps, while the hosts wait for their moment to break.

So close to the opener for Liverpool! Cody Gakpo squares it perfectly and Florian Wirtz drags his effort across goal, it beats the keeper but thumps back off the far post. Heart-in-mouth moment for Sunderland. Still goalless, but that was inches away.

Half-time at the Stadium of Light and it remains goalless between Sunderland and Liverpool. An intriguing, hard-fought first 45 minutes with moments at both ends, but no breakthrough yet. Plenty still riding on this one, all set up for a big second half.

Back underway at the Stadium of Light! Sunderland try to protect that proud unbeaten home run, while Liverpool look to turn their pressure into a breakthrough. Huge 45 minutes coming up.

Goal for Liverpool! Mohamed Salah whips in the corner and Virgil van Dijk powers a header toward the far side. It looks destined for the net, but Diarra gets the final touch and can only turn it in. The visitors lead 1–0 after 61 minutes.

Into the final few minutes and Sunderland are slinging deliveries into the area, but Liverpool are dealing with them comfortably so far. At the other end, the visitors break quickly and it falls to Curtis Jones, who tries his luck from distance but blazes over. Time running out for the hosts.

Full-time at the Stadium of Light and Liverpool walk away with a massive 1–0 win. The final act sees Ballard penalised for a foul on Virgil van Dijk, and moments later the whistle goes. A huge boost for the visitors in the race for Europe, and Sunderland’s proud unbeaten home run comes to an end.
