Play by play
- 95'
That's that and City battle back for a deserved point. Sunderland bossed the first half and City the second so a draw is probably a fair result. City now two points behind fourth placed Spurs with a game in hand.
- 94'
Barry nods to Vieira and Santa Cruz has a crack but leans back and it flies over.
- 93'
Bent nods wide from a Henderson cross in a rare attack.
- 93'
Cruel on Sunderland but you have to say City deserve it for their second half performance.
- 92'
Mancini sprinted down the touchline after the goal, not to celebrate, but to tell his players to get back into position and try and find a winner!
- 91'
Johnson lofts a ball to the far post as the corner came across to him and it drops inside the corner. If he meant that, it's a pearler.
- 91'
GOAL! Johnson!
- 91'
Gordon saves brilliantly from Bellamy as he drills in a low shot from the box edge. It took a deflection too, what a save.
- 90'
Foru added minutes....
- 89'
City going long now to try and snatch an equaliser.
- 88'
This will be a big blow for Mancini if City go down here.
- 87'
Now Bellamy is called for handball as it brushes his arm. Fair enough.
- 86'
Richardson can't beat the wall and then City's break is stopped by a foul on De Jong.
- 85'
Hutton wins a free kick off Bellamy and that is a poor decision. Bellamy won the ball. Free kick on the edge of the box wide right.
- 84'
Henderson wins a corner off VIeira.
- 83'
Sunderland change: Campbell off, Bardsley on.
- 82'
Some respite for Sunderland as Campbell gets down the right. Lescott goes across to boot clear. Richardson is down with cramp.
- 81'
Now Johnson swings in a decent ball but Barry is flagged offside at the back post. That's poor.
- 80'
Gordon does well to grab the ball off the feet of Lescott as De Jong's header fell to the defender two yards out.
- 79'
Tevez muscles Mensah off the ball and feeds Bellamy, Hutton slides in but misses the ball and Gordon is out to block the shot with his legs.
- 79'
Two terrible efforts in the space of a second as Kompany misses his kick from the corner, then De Jong blazes over.
- 78'
Hutton does well to pinch the ball off Bellamy's toes as Tevez played him in.
- 77'
Zabaleta's ball in is cleared by Turner.
- 76'
Sunderland change: Zenden for Malbranque. One old stager for another.
- 75'
Santa Cruz controls beautifully before flicking to Tevez but his shot spins wide off his boot.
