A 46th minute Nick Woltemade own goal, off a sensational Nordi Mukiele cross gave Sunderland a well-earned 1-0 win over Newcastle United in the first Premier League Tyne-Wear derby in nearly a decade. The result sees them climb to seventh in the league table, with 26 points in 16 and leaves Newcastle stranded on 12th with 22 points.

But for a fortuitous late own goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Pep Guardiola’s side would already now be top in a season in which there have been declarations that it is Arsenal’s to lose.

Erling Haaland scored a double, the second from the spot, either side of Phil Foden netting with a fine low strike.
