Daryl Janmaat crosses, Aleksandar Mitrovic heads wide from close range. Maybe you'd expect more from a big-money striker. This has not been Newcastle's day.

A corner is cleared only as far as Newcastle midfielder Vurnon Anita, but he pokes it well over under not much pressure. Hideous effort by the substitute.

Sunderland 2-0 Newcastle
Sunderland winger Adam Johnson hits the crossbar with a curling 20-yard effort after cutting inside from the right. Fantastic effort from the former Middlesbrough player, who scored today's opener.

From the corner, Pantilimon flaps and Ayoze Perez blazes wide.

If Sunderland score one more goal, they'll overtake Newcastle on goal difference into 18th.

Image source, PAA colleague said to me earlier if every Sunderland match was a derby, they'd win the Premier League.
This must be a worrying time to be a Magpies fan.

Billy Jones
From the corner, Yann M'Vila takes a volley across goal and Billy Jonesturns it in at the far post from maybe a yard out.
That's the defender's first goal for Sunderland and surely that's their sixth derby win in a row - a record for either side.

Sunderland full-back DeAndre Yedlin goes on a direct run from deep but just as he's approaching the box he leaves the ball behind him - too quick for his own good...

Not related to Sunderland's controversial penalty, but we couldn't ignore this tweet from West Ham and Ann Summers' chairman.

The referee could have done himself a huge favour if he gave Coloccini a yellow card. Yes I would say it is a penalty. However, a red card has to be denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. The fact that we are debating whether Fletcher would have got to the ball tells us it can not of been a clear goalscoring opportunity. Decision should of been: penalty and yellow card.
The Third Eye
Whilst everyone is uming and ahhing over the penalty and red card, Newcastle fans will also be miffed that a clear arm across the face and therefore a penalty in the Sunderland box directly before the incident was ignored.

Great chance for Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic to equalise. The Serb cuts the ball onto his right foot, sending the defender sliding to the ground, but Costel Pantilimon keeps out his shot with a good save.
Moments later the keeper again saves a low effort from Ayoze Perez. Newcastle haven't given this one up at all.

Football needs its version of rugby's TMO. That was a poor decision and it had ruined the game, foul no, red no, bring in TMO.
Paul in London
On rugby world cup semi final weekend, what about a sin bin for football? Would reduce severity of technical but soft fouls and also prevent silly double yellows. Maybe a hockey green (caution), yellow (sin bin for Coloccini), red (off) system? I've been advocating it for years.
Matt in Greenwich
This ref is too young and too inexperienced to officiate this particular fixture. Going to be an interest second half for him.
