It's all over.
Tottenham are six games from the Championship after a defeat in Roberto de Zerbi's opening game.
A good win for Sunderland.

Again Spurs did quite well there. They zipped the ball around quickly and opened up a chance to cross into a dangerous area. Where was this earlier?

We're past the 11 added on.

Sunderland 1-0 Tottenham

Spurs put a cross in and the referee spots something in the box and gives Sunderland a defensive free-kick. Cheers in the home stands like it was the final whistle.

One hundred minutes gone. Spurs on the attack. A cross goes over Mathys Tel's head.

Roberto de Zerbi is nowhere near as animated as you might expect him to be every time the camera pans to the new Spurs boss.

Dave: What's the excuse going to be today, Eddie? We haven't played in three weeks players can't be tired v Palace who played Thursday evening. We need a big change in the summer.
Jeff: Newcastle are playing like they don't care anymore, they have given up for the season. I wonder how many will be there next year?
William: Can't believe how poor Newcastle are...unbalanced...lack any real threat...just a very poor team....going backwards.

Crystal Palace 2-1 Newcastle

Three defeats in a row for Newcastle in all competitions!
But it's party time for Crystal Palace and Jean-Philippe Mateta, who emerges as the home side's hero with two goals off the bench.

Absolute panic from Porro, nothing more than that.

Sunderland 1-0 Tottenham

All the Spurs defenders are basically attackers now. Pedro Porro plays a one-two and slams in a rising shot from 18 yards, saved by Robin Roefs.

FT: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Aston Villa

For now, a draw leaves Forest three points clear of the relegation zone.
But up in Sunderland, Spurs still have five more minutes of added time to find an equaliser...

Sunderland 1-0 Tottenham

Kevin Danso crosses, Sunderland clear. And then they try to counter. But a wayward pass gives Spurs possession back. It is one-way traffic now.

Crystal Palace 2-1 Newcastle

Crystal Palace runs the clock down further as Tyrick Mitchell goes off to be replaced by Borna Sosa.
Yoane Wissa and Anthony Elanga are on for Newcastle, replacing Jacob Murphy and Sandro Tonali.

Sunderland 1-0 Tottenham

Sunderland win a free-kick near their own byeline and are obviously taking their time with it.

Sunderland 1-0 Tottenham

Spurs' corner comes to nothing - but they attack again. They're desperate for something here.

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Aston Villa

The points are shared in Nottingham.
A draw doesn't do an awful lot for either side.

Sunderland 1-0 Tottenham

Pedro Porro whips in this free-kick from near the corner flag. Robin Roefs tries to catch it but spills it - luckily it lands on the roof of the net and not in it.

Are Forest happy with a point? It kinds of seems like that. They're not throwing everyone forward.
GOAL - Crystal Palace 2-1 Newcastlepublished at 15:52 BST 12 April
Jean-Philippe Mateta (90+4 mins)

Jean-Philippe Mateta wins it for Crystal Palace!
Aaron Ramsdale dives the right away but the Crystal Palace substitute slots it beyond the Newcastle goalkeeper's reach for his second goal of the afternoon.
Newcastle left with a mountain to climb with little left to play of this game.
