Sunderland v Tottenham Hotspur BBC Radio 5 Live This video can not be played Sunderland v Tottenham Hotspur BBC Radio 5 Live Three Premier League games under way De Zerbi takes charge of first Tottenham game as they visit Sunderland Spurs start day in relegation zone Osula gives Newcastle lead at Crystal Palace Williams finds bottom corner to level for Nottingham Forest against Aston Villa after Murillo own goal Chelsea v Man City follows at 16: 30 BST Alex Brotherton, Adwaidh Rajan and Emlyn Begley HT: Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham Pat Nevin Former Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 Live at Stadium of Light Sunderland have been slightly the better side, Brobbey has had a few chances, Xhaka too, and they have looked more comfortable on the ball. Can I see a little improvement from Spurs? Yes I can. We will learn a lot more in the second half. We will learn a lot more about De Zerbi too. He has to ask himself whether he sticks with a point or goes for three. I think he has to go for three.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Aston Villa Since the start of the 2023-24 season, Nottingham Forest defender Murillo has scored the joint-most own goals of any player in the Premier League (three - level with Marc Guehi and Konstantinos Mavropanos). HT: Crystal Palace 0-1 Newcastle William Osula has scored in two of his past three Premier League appearances, after only scoring in two of his first 50 outings. He is the second Danish player to score for Newcastle against Crystal Palace in the Premier League after Jon Dahl Tomasson in November 1997. HT: Sunderland 0-0 Spurs Phil Mc Nulty BBC Sport chief football writer at Stadium of Light Not the greatest half of football but there have been moments. Sunderland have had more chances, but that was a really big one for Dominic Solanke right on half-time. Roberto de Zerbi will probably think it has been OK- no more than that, but at least Spurs have showed some fight and stuck at it. Click 'Get Involved' on this page to have your say Arron: Another reason for Neco Williams' Forest player of the season nomination. He's been an absolute machine! Anderson, Gibbs-White, Murillo get the attention but we'd be so worse off without Neco! HT: Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham Sunderland games have been goalless at half-time more often than any other teams in the Premier League this season (15). HT: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Aston Villa Dave Edwards Former Wolves midfielder on 5 Sports Extra It's been a brilliant 45 minutes of football. It is an important game at different ends of the table and both teams have engaged in that. It has been exciting, both teams have had good moments, periods of possession and chances. Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham Could be better, could be worse for Sunderland and Tottenham. Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham Pat Nevin Former Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 Live at Stadium of Light It's one of those ones where you think, how's Solanke not scored? The keeper has covered every angle so it's very hard to score. Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham Big chance for Spurs at the end of this half. Omar Alderete deflects a Spurs cross right into the path of Dominic Solanke, who is denied by some quick Robin Roefs reactions. Crystal Palace 0-1 Newcastle A first half that came to life in the final 10 minutes. And Newcastle will be very pleased to carry a slender lead into the break at Selhurst Park. Nottingham Forest 1-1 Aston Villa That'll do it for the first half. Neco Williams cancelled out Murillo's own goal to keep this one finely balanced. Crystal Palace 0-1 Newcastle More good work from William Osula to win a free-kick in a dangerous position in the dying seconds of the first half. After much deliberation, Lewis Hall takes it and Dean Henderson has to make a save at his near post to stop the shot from creeping in. Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham Pat Nevin Former Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 Live at Stadium of Light It's a great chance for Brobbey. He does everything right, it's coming to him at an angle so he keeps the shot hard and low and goes to put it through the keeper. It's a lovely moment for Kinsky after all he's gone through. Nottingham Forest 1-1 Aston Villa Omari Hutchinson's cross is clearly deflected behind by a Villa defender, yet the visitors are awarded a goal-kick. Beats me. Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham Good save from Antonin Kinsky, his first of the day, to get down low and keep out Brian Brobbey's close-range shot from a free-kick situaiton. Crystal Palace 0-1 Newcastle Ciaran Kelly BBC Sport reporter at Selhurst Park What a time for William Osula to step up for Newcastle United with the visitors' first shot on target. The striker's name is being loudly sung by the away end after he fired his side in front. Osula's composure has previously been questioned, but he showed quick thinking on the floor to hook the ball into the net after Maxence Lacroix got an initial touch on Lewis Miley's cross. Crystal Palace 0-1 Newcastle Two minutes added on at Selhurst Park. Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham Pat Nevin Former Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 Live at Stadium of Light You just wonder is a draw good enough? Does De Zerbi add some more creativity in that attacking area perhaps? They have looked very limited. Last Updated 12th April 2026 at 14: 50 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.
