Newcastle then doubled their lead straight after the restart when Miguel Almiron set up Alexander Isak to make it, before Isak converted a late penalty in stoppage time.

Here's how the game played out:

Sunderland vs Newcastle

75' Pritchard goes close

Dubravka is finally called into action after Rusyn did well to knock the ball back for Pritchard, whose low effort from the edge of the box was tipped away by the Newcastle keeper.

72' Guimaraes booked

Now Guimaraes is shown a yellow card for a late tackle on Pritchard when the Sunderland player looked to turn into the final third from a central position.

That could and probably should have been three.

Guimaraes' in-swinging cross from the right was skewed by Ballard into Almoron's path. O'Nien was alert to block the winger's cross from inside the box.

66' Hume and Gordon clash

Hume and Gordon clash on the edge of Sunderland's box after a ball went straight through to Patterson.

Ballard and Isak then got involved before Gordon was shown a yellow card.

64' Pritchard finding space

Pritchard is just starting to find pockets of space in central positions drifting in from the right.

That gave the Sunderland fans something to get excited about.

Neil received the ball in midfield before giving it to Pritchard, whose shot from distance grazed the top of the bar.

O'Nien has just put in a hefty tackle on Miley, drawing another cheer from the home fans.

55' Sunderland struggling to get out

Sunderland are really struggling to get a grip on the game right now.

Another Trippier cross from the right is turned behind by Ballard for a corner. Trippier's delivery is headed away by Bellingham at the near post.

47' First change for Newcastle

ON: Miley

OFF: Joelinton

Sunderland have a mountain to climb now.

Ekwah gave the ball away near his own goal, allowing Almiron to cut the ball back for Isak for a routine finish.

0-2.

SECOND HALF UNDER WAY!

Back under way at the Stadium of Light.
