Manchester City are six points behind Liverpool then, with a game in hand. Not out of it totally, but it's obviously a big setback.

CLOSE! Barcelona 0-1 Real Madrid
Copa del Rey final
Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale looks a man set on making his mark on the big stage. The Welshman slaloms through the Barca defence with the ease of an Olympic alpine skier before smashing a toe-wang into the side-netting.
Now then - is it time for Lionel Messi to snatch the limelight? The Barca star stands menacingly over a 25-yard free-kick, only to fire high into the jeering Madrid fans behind the goal. Young Lionel looks a broken man at the moment.
JPG, a Spurs fan, via text: Liverpool fans need to remember the title is now also in Chelsea's hands as well as their own! Jose the one manager who can figure out a win when he really needs to.
Chris Saunders in Reading, via text: Do not forget Chelsea. Same as Liverpool now win all our games and were Champions. We seem to be forgotten in the current media frenzy around Anfield.
Cass in Surrey, via text: Everyone seems to be forgetting Chelsea. When we beat Liverpool the title will be ours!

FULL-TIME Everton 2-3 Crystal Palace
A huge win for Crystal Palace which will be celebrated by Arsenal fans!

FULL-TIME Man City 2-2 Sunderland
A point salvaged? Or two dropped?
Opta Joe: (external) 2 - After scoring only once in his first 37 Premier League appearances, Connor Wickham has scored twice in 10 minutes. Unlikely.

CLOSE! Everton 2-3 Crystal Palace
Great chance! Late drama everywhere you look. Ross Barkley lifts a pass over the top, Kevin Mirallas has a free shot but air-kicks it and the ball runs away...
Man City 2-2 Sunderland
Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given at the Etihad
"Vito Mannone has his shirt over his head and he will be holding his hands up after the game because it was a goalkeeping error for sure.
"City should now be ahead too. Sami Nasri was very lucky that that chance fell to him in the box after a couple of ricochets but from that far out he should have done better."

SITTER! Man City 2-2 Sunderland
There's still time for City to get a winner yet - and they should have one! Samir Nasri again, a free hit in the six-yard box and he lifts it over!

KICK-OFF Barcelona 0-1 Real Madrid
Copa del Rey final
Barca boss Tata Martino looks stern-faced as the two teams re-emerge from the Mestalla tunnel. Apart from the obvious reason that his side are losing, he is also be unhappy that left-back Jordi Alba - one of his star performers in the first half - has been replaced by Adriano at the break. That must be because of an injury.
Real Madrid are unchanged as they get the game back under way. Only 45 minutes for Barca to save their season.

GOAL Man City 2-2 Sunderland - Samir Nasri (88 mins)
What a game! A clanger of colossal proportions from Vito Mannone, this is horrible to watch.
Samir Nasri's low shot is straight at the Sunderland keeper, he lets it slip out of his grasp like a bar of soap, he still has time to get it, the ball spins toward goal, he still has time to get it, he loses his footing, he still has time to get it...
He doesn't get it. The ball rolls over the line.
21:32
Man City 1-2 Sunderland
Gus Poyet said he needed a miracle. He's got one in the form of a brace from Connor Wickham.
