Newcastle advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup after a professional and dominant performance against Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear derby at ths Stadium of Light.
Fielding a strong team after three successive defeats, the Magpies started on the front foot creating a chance for Sean Longstaff inside the opening two minutes. Anthony Pattinson kept out the shot but the visitors never looked back. Twice more Longstaff had opportunities to score but the opener came from an own-goal as Dan Ballard deflected Joelinton’s pass into his own net.
