Newcastle 1-2 Sunderland: Brian Brobbey runs the hosts ragged to write his name in Tyne-Wear derby folklore - as Newcastle's composure evaporates to compound Eddie Howe's nightmare week
Not even the riot police who separated rival fans during pre-match clashes could have contained Brian Brobbey. The goal had been coming from the moment team-mate Chemsdine Talbi equalised 12 minutes into the second half. They lost again - they last won a Tyne-Wear derby in the league in 2011 - and they can have no complaints. Then, on 10 minutes, Gordon broke the cycle. When Botman was forced off early in the second half, after an accidental kick in the face from Brobbey, the Sunderland striker sought a new victim.
