Merciless Derby: Sunderland Stuns Newcastle and Shames Them on the Scoreboard
Sunderland beat Newcastle United 1-0 at the Stadium of Light in the Premier League. A scoreboard controversy sparked debate as the display read “the visitors” instead of Newcastle’s name. The win levels their head-to-head tally at 54 wins each, a milestone reached for the first time since the rivalry began in 1888. An own goal by Nick Volltmade sealed the affair, as Sunderland climbs to seventh and Newcastle drops to twelfth.
