Fulham vs Sunderland

All the latest from Craven Cottage as the Black Cats take on Premier League side Fulham for a place in the FA Cup fifth round.

The [Black Cats](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/sunderland-afc) confirmed on Thursday that the Northern Ireland international had suffered cruciate ligament damage in Sunday's win against Middlesbrough at the Stadium of Light and needs to go under the knife. Homegrown midfielder [Dan Neil](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/dan-neil) can play in the deep-lying role that Evans normally occupies and the club this week signed 21-year-old Pierre Ekwah from West Ham, although Mowbray says Ekwah is not in the same mould as Evans. [Sunderland](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/sunderland-afc) are in excellent [Championship](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/football-league-championship) form too. After beating [Shrewsbury Town](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/matchwinner-luke-onien-highlight-sunderlands-25924428) late on in round three, [Mowbray](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/tony-mowbray) knows this will be a far sterner test of Sunderland's credentials. He's a young boy and it's hard to have the discipline that all the experience Corry has brings. "Watching Pierre today in training, he looks full of energy, he's got a lovely left foot and will bring balance to the squad - it's just that he hasn't played a first-team game yet. The Whites youngster has signed a season-long loan deal with [the Black Cats](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gallery/isaac-lihadji-signing-pictures-sunderland-26085174), after featuring 18 times for Leeds so far this season. [Ross Stewart](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/ross-stewart) is set to lead the line on the banks of the Thames today, with new signings [Pierre Ekwah](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sunderland-showcase-pierre-ekwahs-talents-26075966) and [Isaac Lihadji](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tony-mowbray-praises-mark-clubs-26084261) elligbile if selected. [Joe Gelhardt](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/joe-gelhardts-ridiculously-good-verdict-26090494) is cup-tied after playing for Leeds United agaisnt Cardiff. I think the balance for their manager is whether they try and find a winning way again to get more confidence and belief, or do they look to the next league game and keep going and see if they can qualify for Europe? So I’m pleased with him and it was really unlucky for him, specifically in the one that slides past the second post that he wasn't able to come up with a goal.” but after beating [Middlesbrough](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/sport-opinion/sunderlands-promotion-bid-sure-reminder-26061594) last time out, confidence is high.

Southampton meet Blackpool and Fulham face Sunderland among seven 3pm kick-offs in the FA Cup fourth round. Alex Hess is your guide.

And in the Southern League Division 1 Central, Walthamstow FC host FC Romania – which should be a simple three points but as we all know, there’s no easy games at that level. With a World Cup’s worth of missed fixtures to play, today’s cramming session takes in the FA Cup fourth round – including Blackpool’s trip to All the news as I get it. Sunderland go ahead at Craven Cottage after Jack Clarke pickpockets Kenny Tete and shapes a lovely strike into the far corner. Aberdeen lost to sixth-tier Darvel last week, after which the chairman released a statement saying the result “added insult to injury” and that manager Jim Goodwin “has been left in no doubt that the Board and the fans are seeking an immediate response from him and the players”. Romain Perraud rewards the handful of Saints fans at St Mary’s this afternoon by rifling a free-kick through the wall. West Brom in trouble here as the midfielder arrives with perfect timing to turn home a cross from the right. Duncan Culley completes a first-half hattrick as Walthamstow storm into a 3-0 lead on 38 minutes. Half-time in fair Girona, where the hosts are holding Barcelona at 0-0. Elijah Adebayo levels things up from the spot in a tight game at Kenilworth Road. Another absurd penalty at Swindon, and this time Gillingham defender who concedes a penalty for having the ball blammed at him from a yard away. And Walthamstow make it 4-0 against FC Romania, Bilal Sayoud picking out the top corner with a glorious free-kick

Sunderland face Premier League side Fulham in the FA Cup – and we've got all the action covered from Craven Cottage.

“Because of where they are and they have this sizable gap to the bottom three, they are on 31 points so are three wins away from 40. Tom Cairney hasn’t been a regular starter, Harry Wilson, yet they tore the Championship to shreds last year and were way too good. “It’s our ambition to do well in the FA Cup, a historic competition that’s really important for all clubs. While Tony Mowbray admitted on Thursday a deal is unlikely, Sunderland are also still monitoring Ellis Simms’ situation at Everton.

Tom Cairney cancelled out Jack Clarke's quickfire opener to earn Fulham a 1-1 draw with Sunderland in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Cairney took a touch, then another, then left a defender on the floor, and only when he was ready did the midfielder draw Fulham level by firing past Patterson. “The positive thing was the spirit of an extraordinarily young team,” Mowbray said. Diallo’s profligacy was a worry for Sunderland, whose promotion hopes could be hit by their striker Ross Stewart suffering a suspected torn achilles during the first half. The equaliser invigorated Fulham, who quickly introduced Willian and Mitrovic. Diallo, on loan from Manchester United, was a constant threat in attack, although they could have done with the forward showing more composure. “There’s a bit of frustration we didn’t see the game out. That was the trigger for Clarke. [Fulham](https://www.theguardian.com/football/fulham) that Sunderland, who lie a point off a playoff spot in the Championship, are moving in the right direction. Fulham, seventh in the Premier League, could not be accused of a lack of commitment. Sunderland’s left-winger knew to press Diop, whose distribution has never convinced, and it was too late by the time the Fulham centre-back tried to react; the ball had gone and Clarke was opening up his body to guide a smart finish beyond Marek Rodak. This richly entertaining game was all the better for both teams taking the FA Cup seriously. [defeat to Tottenham](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jan/23/fulham-tottenham-premier-league-match-report) as an excuse for their slow start.

Match report as Tom Cairney equalises to force FA Cup fourth-round replay with Sunderland; Jack Clarke opens the scoring in the sixth minute after a mistake ...

"We conceded a cheap goal but, overall in the game, I think we've created enough chances to score more goals. Manager Marco Silva made seven changes to his starting XI, but it was Sunderland who took an early lead. "So I think it was a good performance from a very young team that played with a good attitude and who threatened their goal from the start and could have added to our scoreline." Sunderland thought they had scored the winner when 15-year-old Christopher Rigg had the ball in the back of the net in the 90th minute, but the goal was rightly ruled out for offside to ensure a replay will be needed at the Stadium of Light. Fulham had another good chance on the stroke of half-time from a quick run down the left wing from Manor Solomon, who pulled the ball back to Pereira but his shot was expertly blocked on the line by Daniel Ballard. Ross Stewart was then carried off the field on a stretcher with what appeared to be an ankle problem, forcing Sunderland into their first substitution of the game and denying him the chance of adding to his tally of 10 goals in 13 games this season.

Despite losing Ross Stewart to injury, Sunderland more than held their own and were unlucky not to beat Premier League Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Covered every blade of grass while closing down Fulham but also found time to show his quality on the ball. Stole the ball for the opener when he ran in on goal and finished with ease. Played a sublime ball to Clarke that the winger really should have done better with.
