Brian Brobbey scored a dramatic 90th-minute winner as Sunderland came from behind to beat Newcastle United in a thrilling Tyne-Wear derby at St James' Park.

Newcastle had been on target for their first home victory in this fixture since 2010 when Anthony Gordon gave the hosts a ninth-minute lead.

Sunderland played out from the back but defender Luke O'Nien's pass was intercepted by Nick Woltemade and he gave it to Gordon, who did the rest to score his 17th goal of the season.

The hosts almost made it 2-0 just before the break, but Sven Botman headed against the post following a cross from left-back Lewis Hall, one of five Newcastle players to be included in Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad.

The match was paused early in the second half by referee Anthony Taylor because of reports of discriminatory abuse from the crowd towards Sunderland's Lutsharel Geertruida.

After a three-minute delay in which Taylor spoke to both sets of coaching staff, Geertruida and Granit Xhaka, the visitors equalised in the 57th minute.

Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, another called up by Tuchel, did not get great distance on a punch, the ball was played back into the box, Brobbey chested it goalwards and Dan Burn cleared off the line, only for Chemsdine Talbi to fire in the rebound.

Noah Sadiki had a chance to put Sunderland ahead, only for him to shoot at Ramsdale.

Yet it did not prove costly as Brobbey scored the late winner, to the delight of the away fans, when he converted a rebound from close range after Ramsdale saved his first attempt.

The result gives Sunderland their first league double over Newcastle since 2014-15.

Newcastle United delivered a blow to Chelsea's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League as Anthony Gordon's first-half goal clinched a rare away win at Stamford Bridge.

Gordon slid in the 18th‑minute winner in front of England manager Thomas Tuchel before the Blues were booed off at full-time, losing at home to the Magpies for the first time since 2012.

Chelsea had started on top, missing a free header through Wesley Fofana before creating further chances for Alejandro Garnacho, Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez.

But Gordon opened the scoring by slotting in from close range after Joe Willock broke Chelsea's offside trap when running on to Tino Livramento's pass.

After the goal, the video assistant referee (VAR) waved away a penalty appeal after checking whether Reece James had pulled down Malick Thiaw, but Chelsea threatened again through Palmer, whose shot was saved.

Having made a goalkeeping change for the fourth time in five matches, the newly recalled Rob Sanchez produced an excellent save to deny Jacob Ramsey just before half-time.

Despite trailing at the break, Blues boss Liam Rosenior was proactive, bringing on striker Liam Delap for defender Malo Gusto.

The substitute immediately tested Aaron Ramsdale with a shot from the edge of the box, with Garnacho later having a shot blocked by Newcastle defender Sven Botman.

Referee Paul Tierney, who had been caught in Chelsea's pre-match centre-circle huddle, waved away a penalty shout when Nick Woltemade made contact with Palmer's foot inside the box.

Gordon had another curling effort saved in the 69th minute, with Delap later shooting over on his weaker left foot, flicking a header wide and Trevoh Chalobah heading wide from a corner.

Captain Reece James, who signed a new six-year contract on Friday, struck a free-kick against the post in stoppage time, before Joao Pedro looped a header on to the roof of the net with almost the final kick of the match.

The Blues were booed off having now lost back-to-back matches at home and in Europe.

Newcastle move up to ninth in the Premier League, while Chelsea remain fifth, having played a game more than Liverpool, who host Tottenham on Sunday.

Omar Marmoush haunted Newcastle United once again as Manchester City came from behind to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola had described the prospect of going to a febrile St James' Park as a "nightmare", and it certainly felt like one for the visitors after Harvey Barnes fired Newcastle in front.

But much-changed Manchester City showed their powers of recovery to respond through Savinho and a fine double from Marmoush, who has now scored seven goals against Newcastle in just six games.

Having knocked holders Newcastle out of the Carabao Cup last month, Manchester City have ended Eddie Howe's side's dream of returning to Wembley through the FA Cup.

But it was Newcastle who started this fifth-round tie with real intent and Nick Woltemade saw a header cleared off the line by Nico Gonzalez before the hosts found a way through.

Barnes beat the offside trap to latch on to Sandro Tonali's through ball before taking a touch inside on to his favoured right foot and unleashing a clinical curling effort into the far corner to take the roof off the stadium.

The goal merely awakened Manchester City, though, as the visitors pinned Newcastle back and Guardiola's team drew level following a sustained period of pressure.

Jeremy Doku's drilled cross from the left went all the way through to the unmarked Savinho at the back post, and the ball ended up striking the knee of the Manchester City forward and bobbling over the line.

Stunned Newcastle sorely needed to regroup at half-time, but Manchester City merely picked up from where they left off after the break and took the lead in familiar fashion.

This time Matheus Nunes cut the ball across from the right and there was Marmoush at the far post to lash home after taking a cool touch.

Marmoush grabbed another just a few minutes later after unleashing a rocket from just outside the box, which left Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale with no chance.

Manchester City, in the process, reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for an eighth successive season.

Substitute William Osula scored a superb late winner as 10-man Newcastle United inflicted Michael Carrick's first defeat as Manchester United manager.

Carrick grew up watching Newcastle on the Gallowgate End, and warned his players the stadium was "tough place to go" before a ball had been kicked.

So it proved - even after Newcastle midfielder Jacob Ramsey was sent off in the first half - as the spirited hosts rallied at a raucous St James' Park.

It looked like both sides were going to have to settle for a share of the spoils after Casemiro's header cancelled out Anthony Gordon's penalty.

But Osula cut inside the box and lashed the ball past the stunned Senne Lammens, who could only watch it hit the net in the 90th minute to send the stadium into raptures.

What a contrast to the scenes in first-half stoppage time when Newcastle players, staff and supporters were furious when Ramsey was sent off for a second booking.

Referee Peter Bankes felt the midfielder dived in an attempt to win a penalty when he nudged the ball past goalkeeper Lammens.

But Newcastle quickly channelled their anger and Gordon was awarded a spot-kick after the forward was brought down by Bruno Fernandes inside the box.

Gordon coolly placed his penalty straight down the middle of Lammens' goal to open the scoring and net his 15th goal of the campaign.

But Manchester United have recovered more points (nine) from a losing position than any other side in the Premier League in 2026 for a reason, and Newcastle were not in front for long.

There was still time for another dramatic twist in the ninth minute of first-half stoppage time after Manchester United midfielder Casemiro made a smart run to the near post to head home from Fernandes' free-kick.

Newcastle were quickly pegged back, but the hosts regrouped at the break and a stretching Gordon had a huge chance to put his side 2-1 up, only to fire wide at the back post in the second half.

Manchester United also had a couple of big opportunities to win it late on when Leny Yoro saw a header batted away by Aaron Ramsdale, while substitute Joshua Zirkzee was also denied by the recalled Newcastle goalkeeper.

But it was Osula who had the final say as Newcastle climbed to 12th, while Manchester United stay in third.

Substitute Thierno Barry scored a dramatic late winner as Everton stunned Newcastle United in the Premier League to maintain their push for a European place.

Everton manager David Moyes insisted beforehand that his side were not about to give up on their dream of qualifying for the Europa League or the Europa Conference League, but the Scot acknowledged they needed to "win some really big games on the journey".

This trip to St James' Park certainly fitted the bill and Everton rose to the occasion - just as they have so many times on the road this season.

Even when it looked like Everton might have to settle for a share of the spoils after winger Jacob Murphy drew Newcastle level in the 82nd minute, Barry stepped up with a close-range effort to leave Moyes punching the air on the touchline.

Moyes reacted similarly after defender Jarrad Branthwaite opened the scoring with a glancing header at the near post in this topsy-turvy clash after stealing a march on marker Sandro Tonali to get on the end of James Garner's corner.

Disjointed Newcastle found a way to equalise after Jacob Ramsey's shot took a deflection off the sliding Branthwaite and looped over goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

But Newcastle were only level for a couple of minutes after keeper Nick Pope spilled Dwight McNeil's swerving long-range effort, and Beto reacted quickest to tap home on the rebound.

It was the perfect way for Beto to repay the faith of Moyes after being handed his first start since December.

Newcastle, who were fresh from booking their place in the last 16 of the Champions League in midweek, looked stunned.

Head coach Eddie Howe demanded a response after the break as he turned to his bench, and substitute Murphy drew his side level with a deflected volley from Joelinton's scooped cross.

But Everton showed their powers of recovery once again to immediately retake the lead after the falling Barry managed to connect with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's cross.

The visitors managed to see the game out after Pickford made a flying save to palm Tonali's volley on to the crossbar.

They move up to eighth in the table, while Newcastle stay 12th.
