- 0' The game is set. Ipswich Town FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 8' Charlie Wyke does the damage! The net is bulging and Sunderland AFC surge ahead!
- 13' Sunderland AFC have won 490 goals from 377 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
