FT:Fulham 1-3 Sunderland: Sunderland are rewarded for a superb performance with three points as they took advantage of Fulham's poor defending at Craven Cottage.
90
There are going to be two minutes of added time.
88
Sunderland almost grab a fourth as Jones flicks it through for O'Donovan who has a go when he should have looked to the back post where Chopra was screaming for the cross.
87
Yellow Card
Brian McBride shows his frustration as he boots the ball away and picks up a late booking.
86
Substitution
Andy Reid looks out on his feet now and he is being replaced by Roy O'Donovan for the final few moments.
83
Sunderland are now cruising towards victory as Fulham do not look like breaking through again and even their fans seem to have realised it as the noise level has dropped significantly.
81
Fulham have now really given up on the game as even they I think realise that they have now wasted their chance of taking anything from this one.
78
That really was footballing suicide from the Cottagers as they seemed to have got themselves back in it only to give it away again.
76
Goal
GOAL:Fulham 1-3 Sunderland: (76mins) Game off again as Fulham gift Jones the chance to double the advantage again and he takes it. Terrible defending once more but good composure from the big striker.
74
Goal
GOAL:Fulham 1-2 Sunderland: (74mins) Game on! Dempsey and Healy combine and the latter curls it past Gordon and suddenly Fulham are back in the game.
72
Substitution
In Fulham's final change they are bringing off the again disappointing Diomansy Kamara and replacing him with Hameur Bouazza.
70
Stunning effort from Leadbitter as he allows the ball to run across his body before unleashing a right footed shot that forces a superb diving save from Keller.
68
Bad news for the Fulham fans is that their side are showing no real sign of getting themselves back into the game and in all honesty it looks like Sunderland are coasting towards three points at the minute.
65
Sunderland's defending has been nothing short of top class so far this afternoon as despite bucket loads of possession Fulham have not been able to break in behind the red and white wall.
62
Substitution
Fulham are bringing on another striker as Clint Dempsey replaces Paul Stalteri - it really is all or nothing for Fulham now.
61
Sunderland look quite comfortable now and seem more relaxed since that second goal, this could be a vital away win for them if they can hold onto it but Fulham really have got to go for it.
58
Substitution
And at the same time Grant Leadbitter is replacing Kieran Richardson who is not all that happy about being withdrawn.
58
Substitution
Leon Andreasen is coming off here and is being replaced by international football goal machine David Healy.
57
That goal has taken all the sting out of Fulham's support now and its the Sunderland fans that can be heard screaming from the terraces now.
54
Goal
GOAL:Fulham 0-2 Sunderland: (54mins) Great finish from Chopra as he loops it over Keller and into the net and that could be game over. Poor defending from Stalteri but superb from the substitute.
52
Simon Davies finds some room on the right hand side and whips a devilish ball in that Daryl Murphy manages to almost turn into his own net but Gordon makes a superb diving stop to prevent an own goal.
50
Fulham have come out in exactly the same way they started the match with all guns blazing and Sunderland are going to have to be strong to weather this storm.
48
Craig Gordon makes a superb save to deny Kamara as he attempted to flick McBride's scuffed effort home, although the Fulham man should have given the keeper no chance.
Second half
There has been a delay of a few minutes to the start of this half for some reason - however we are no underway again here.
45
Substitution
At the break Carlos Edwards has been replaced by Michael Chopra for Sunderland - an attacking change from Roy Keane.
Half time
HT:Fulham 0-1 Sunderland: Fulham have dominated the play but Sunderland have taken their only clear chance with that Collins header and they go in the happier.
45
Goal
GOAL:Fulham 0-1 Sunderland: (45mins) Danny Collins heads Sunderland in front massively against the run of play on the stroke of half time and Fulham are in shock.
43
Konchesky launches a long ball up to McBride, who heads it down superbly, and Davies arrives on cue only to see his half volley rise just a touch too high.
42
Fulham seem to be getting a little frustrated with their inability to break Sunderland down and they need to keep patient otherwise Roy Keane's side could punish them at the other end.
40
Sunderland are typically dangerous at set-pieces and Danny Collins almost gets his head on another here but it is just a fraction too high for him to make meaningful contact with this time.
37
It would be unfair to label Fulham a one man team but Jimmy Bullard seems to be on a personal mission to haul them out of the relegation zone as he is absolutely everywhere this afternoon.
36
The rain has started to really pour down here alongside the River Thames and that will certainly make the ball zip around for a bit, it also makes mistakes more likely from defenders though.
33
Jimmy Bullard is running around like there is no tomorrow out there and is involved in absolutely everything for the Cottagers.
30
Yellow Card
Leon Andreasen picks up the game's first booking as he leaps in on Reid and prevents him forming a Black Cats coutner attack.
28
In all honesty the pace of the game has dropped dramatically in the last ten minutes or so and there is a real lack of goalmouth activity at either end.
25
The hosts, despite all their possession, are failing to create any meaningful chances and sooner or later Sunderland are going to have a period of pressure where they could do just that.
22
Fulham are still the team on top here but Sunderland are starting to threaten on the break with the pace of Richardson and Jones causing a few problems.
19
Fulham were lucky to escape there but they have responded well and Bullard hits another long range effort just over the cross bar.
16
Danny Collins rises to head home Reid's clipped cross and the linesman has flagged to disallow it - it appeared he was onside and Sunderland are unlucky.
16
Sunderland have a free kick in a dangerous position and will look to work Kasey Keller here - Richardson and Reid are over it.
13
Now Bullard is central and decides to have a go himself and strikes it well but it arrows wide - Gordon appeared to have it covered in any case.
12
Jimmy Bullard finds himself on the right hand side and whips in a good cross that McBride rises to head goalwards but he can only direct it straight at Gordon.
10
Things have settled down a little here now as Sunderland gain some sort of control of the ball for really the first time in the game.
7
Sunderland are yet to really get out of their half and the atmosphere is building up around the ground as Fulham fans get excited by their side's start.
4
Fulham appear to have given Jimmy Bullard license to roam and he is getting plenty of the ball early on, which is allowing him to pull the strings.
2
The home side have exerted some good early pressure here and that has seen them earn the game's first corner - which is easily cleared.
1
Kickoff
Mark Halsey is officiating this huge match at the bottom of the Premier League and he gets us underway now.
Sunderland won on the road at Villa recently so that will give them more confidence here and they have been pulling away from the other sides near the bottom of late with some impressive performances.
Awaiting Kickoff
Fulham look to be doomed in fairness, especially after failing to beat already relegated Derby last weekend but Roy Hodgson remains committed and in Jimmy Bullard they have someone capable of creating something from nothing.
Awaiting Kickoff
Welcome to Craven Cottage where a proverbial relegation six-pointer is the afternoon's entertainment as Fulham play host to Sunderland.
