Crystal Palace vs Sunderland LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

The end of this game has come, and a wasteful deadlock is what both sides leave here with. The match itself started in extremely tame fashion, with scrappy passes and loss of possession being the main talking points in the first half. There were a few chances for either side, most notably for Pino in the 37th minute, where he missed a one-on-one chance by putting his shot wide of the left post. Sunderland also had a chance at the end of the half, and looked to have scored if it wasn’t for Mitchell’s last-ditch block. It was 0-0 at halftime, and the game was poised for a lively second half. The second half was certainly livelier, but neither side could carve open a real goalscoring chance. Pino, Mateta and Kamada had chances near the end of the game to make a breakthrough, but no one in red and blue could put the ball in the net, mainly due to Roefs’ defiant display between the sticks for Sunderland. The away team struggled to make any clear-cut chances in the second half, unlike their counterparts, so they will be happy to take a point back to the north. Palace’s firepower in attack showed through the xG stats, where they clocked up 1.48 xG, eclipsing Sunderland’s 0.36 xG at full-time. They will be disappointed to not have taken advantage of that, but their unbeaten run extends to 15 games on the bounce now! It ends 0-0 here at Selhurst Park.

FULL-TIME: CRYSTAL PALACE 0-0 SUNDERLAND

Sunderland make a late change, and it’s Isidor coming off for Rigg, who hasn’t been given a lot of time to make an impact on this game.

CHANCE! Mateta INCHES away from finding a winner! Guehi won his header inside the six-yard box, but Mateta couldn’t get his foot on the dropping ball! How close was that!?

Hughes sends a prod towards the goal from outside the box, but it takes a deflection and goes for a corner!

It’s all Palace now! Sunderland will have to weather this storm to leave here with at least a point!

There will be FOUR additional minutes for one of these sides to get a winner!

WOW ROEFS! He has kept Sunderland in this game with two fantastic saves from inside and outside of the box! Uche met a cross at the back of the box, before the ball was palmed out to Kamada, who tried a shot from outside the area - which was saved again!

‘You don’t know what you’re doing!’ rings around the Holmesdale end after that decision to stop the game for Mukiele. Palace fans are making their thoughts known!

Mukiele is down with a cramp and the referee has decided to stop the game whilst Palace had the ball in their possession. The argument from the home side is that it wasn’t a head injury, so the game shouldn’t have been stopped.
