Granit Xhaka posts four-word message after Sunderland’s win at Newcastle United | OneFootball

Granit Xhaka summed up Sunderland’s Tyne-Wear derby comeback with a four-word post, as players took to social media after the win at St James’ Park.

After falling behind early, Sunderland turned it around with a forceful second-half display. As reported by Sunderland Echo, the squad’s posts reflected the scale of the result and the emotion of the occasion. At 20 years and 317 days, Chemsdine Talbi became the youngest Sunderland player to score against Newcastle in the Premier League.

Goalkeeper Melker Ellborg shared the jubilant away end, writing: “Massive win today! Thanks for the support,” with red and white hearts. Omar Alderete posted a celebratory image captioned “+3”, adding red and white hearts and a clenched fist.

Lutsharel Geertruida struck a pointed note, posting “Fair to say, Tyne and Wear is…”. Sunderland are unbeaten in their past 11 league meetings with Newcastle United. The Magpies last won this fixture at home in 2010 and have not beaten their rivals in the league since 2011.

Xhaka’s own message read, “This one means everything,” accompanied by a red heart and his personal hashtag. Brian Brobbey replied, “Yess my captain,” while other comments called the victory “historic”. Exchanges between team-mates underlined the unity in the dressing room.
