Sunderland<\/a> won with the help of an unexpected goalscorer.<\/p>\n

Nick Woltemade ended up popping up with a decisive contribution – only not in the way the Newcastle forward will have imagined – after he sent a bullet header through his own net less than a minute into the second half.<\/p>\n

Newcastle never recovered.<\/p>\n

The visitors may have had one more shot on target than Sunderland<\/a> in a game lacking goalmouth action but that did not tell the full story.<\/p>\n

This was an afternoon when Newcastle damningly set out to be compact rather than ambitious and failed to carry a threat on the break through forwards Woltemade, Anthony Gordon and Anthony Elanga.<\/p>\n

The closest Newcastle came to responding was when Guimaraes let fly from outside the area but it was a comfortable enough save for Robin Roefs to make.<\/p>\n

Goals have not necessarily been an issue for Newcastle of late because others have stepped up from open play to ease the burden on the frontline.<\/p>\n

Lewis Miley came off the bench to briefly put Newcastle in front against Leverkusen midweek. Guimaraes scored against Burnley<\/a> and Spurs. Malick Thiaw even netted two at Everton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But there was no repeat at the Stadium of Light.<\/p>\n

“We were not there,” Guimaraes said. “No shooting, no crossing, no passing. We should have demanded the ball more. <\/p>\n

“We just accepted the way they will play, long balls, they won the duels. In derbies we have to win the duels.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sunderland won with the help of an unexpected goalscorer.
