"The Newcastle striker headed beyond Aaron Ramsdale early in the second half to give the hosts local bragging rights at the Stadium of Light on Sunday. Both sides were generally lacking attacking quality for long periods of the Premier League's first North-East derby for almost 10 years. Dan Ballard headed over just before half-time, moments after Newcastle defender Dan Burn limped off injured."
"Woltemade unwittingly diverted Nordi Mukiele's cross in via the underside of the crossbar. Wilson Isidor also called Ramsdale into action from a tight angle, but the visitors struggled to generate a response at the other end of the field. Substitute Yoane Wissa narrowly avoided contact with Jacob Murphy's inviting cross, but that was as close as they came to the equaliser, with the Stadium of Light erupting with joy as the final whistle blew."
