Newcastle United 1 Sunderland 2 LIVE: Chemsdine Talbi & Brian Brobbey the heroes as Cats stun NUFC
Our live coverage of the Tyne-Wear derby at St James’ Park
It’s derby day - and Sunderland have done the double over Newcastle United again.
Anthony Gordon handed Newcastle United an early lead 10 minutes in, it followed a poor error from Luke O’Nien following a short goal-kick routine between him and Melker Ellborg.
A poor clearance from O’Nien was capitalised on by Nick Woltemade, Gordon played in and he fired home to give Newcastle an early lead. The hosts led 1-0 at the break.
But Sunderland hit back with a much-improved second half display and they got their reward in the 57th minute when Chemsdine Talbi prodded home from close range. The Sunderland away end erupted in joy.
There was a let off midway through the second half when sub Malick Thiaw saw a header from close-range ruled out after a VAR check following referee Anthony Taylor’s decision to rule out the header after a Jacob Murphy foul. Sunderland stunned St James’ Park with a 90th minute winner - Brobbey with the close range finish to send the Sunderland fans wild. Catch up with all the action below!
