Brobbey strikes late as Sunderland stun Newcastle in Tyne-Wear derby | OneFootball

Sunderland came from behind to claim a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park in the Tyne-Wear derby on Sunday.

The hosts had the first chance of the game inside the opening three minutes when Anthony Elanga met Lewis Hall’s delivery, but he headed wide.

The Magpies took the lead in the 10th minute after they latched onto a loose pass, and Anthony Gordon finished into the bottom corner.

The visitors mustered their first attempt as Chemsdine Talbi almost picked out the top corner, but his curling strike was clawed away by Aaron Ramsdale.

Chris Rigg dragged an effort well over the bar as Sunderland tried to get back into the game.

Elanga slammed his effort into the side netting before Sven Botman’s header from Hall’s cross struck the post.

Talbi restored parity for the Black Cats in the 57th minute after Ramsdale failed to deal with a corner.

Ramsdale subsequently made two good saves, denying Granit Xhaka and Noah Sadiki.

Malick Thiaw thought he had given the hosts the lead after he headed home from a corner, but the goal was ruled out for a foul by Jacob Murphy.

Brian Brobbey fired the Black Cats ahead late in the game to seal a dramatic victory.
