Half-Time Report: Gaston Ramirez brings Hull City level against Sunderland

Gaston Ramirez nets in the 32nd minute to leave the scores all square at the break in Hull City's Premier League clash against Sunderland after Adam Johnson's strike.

It's all square at the break in the Premier League match between Sunderland and Hull City at the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats got off to the perfect start in the match when Adam Johnson seized on a poor back-pass from Curtis Davies to Allan McGregor and rounded the keeper to fire his side in front.

Gus Poyet's men had the chance to double their advantage from a corner, but John O'Shea headed over from close range from Johnson's corner from the right.

Hull managed to get back on level terms when Gaston Ramirez picked the ball up 25 yards from goal and fired a low strike towards the bottom corner, which beat the outstretched hand of Costel Pantilimon.

The Black Cats could have been awarded a penalty late in the half when a cross from Johnson appeared to hit the hand of Alex Bruce, but referee Andre Marriner waved their claims away.

Just before the break, Poyet's men pressed ahead to try to retake the lead, but Ricky Alvarez's effort was well saved by McGregor, while Hull somehow managed to clear their lines for a corner seconds later.
