"Sunderland's victory also takes them up to 11th and above the Magpies in the table, compounding Newcastle's woes after a heavy defeat to Barcelona."
"No side in Europe's top five leagues have played more games than Howe's men this season, but their campaign is in danger of fizzling out to an anti-climatic finish."
"Chemsdine Talbi converted from close range to kickstart the Sunderland fightback after Newcastle failed to clear a corner just before the hour mark."
Sunderland secured a 2-1 victory over Newcastle in the Tyne-Wear derby, marking a difficult week for the Magpies after their Champions League exit. Newcastle initially led with a goal from Anthony Gordon, but Sunderland equalized through Chemsdine Talbi and won with a late goal from Bryan Brobbey. The match was marred by a report of racist abuse aimed at Lutsharel Geertruida. Newcastle's hopes for European football next season are dwindling as they remain seven points off a top-five finish.
