25' Dan Neil needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
30' It looks like no one’s ball. Sunderland AFC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
31' Sunderland AFC player sees a card in front of him.
36' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
