"Sunderland seized the chance to exact their revenge by posing for a team photograph before the supporters following the victory. The image, which has now been immortalised by Topps Now in the form of a trading card, was a response on Sunderland's part to a similar photograph by United following a 3-0 FA Cup defeat at the Stadium of Light in January 2024."
"Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes branded his side's display as 'embarrassing' in the aftermath, whilst insisting that they possess a superior squad."
"The rivalry is right up there with one of the best rivalries in the country. I'm here for a bit of light-hearted banter as well."
"If it was me, it'd wind me up a little bit more to what I get stuck in."
Sunderland achieved a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United in the Wear-Tyne Derby, with Nick Woltemade's own-goal being the decisive factor. Following the match, Sunderland chose to mock Newcastle by not displaying their name on the scoreboard, referring to them as 'visitors' instead. They celebrated their win with a team photograph, which has been turned into a trading card by Topps Now. Former player Danny Simpson supported Sunderland's actions, emphasizing the importance of rivalry and light-hearted banter in football.
