00:00Sunderland savoured one of the sweetest victories in recent Premier League memory
00:06as they edged Newcastle 1-0 in the Weartyne derby that had fans on the edge of their seats.
00:13Two years after Newcastle's triumphant FA Cup selfie on Wearside,
00:17the Black Cats finally claimed their own moment of revenge
00:20and the Stadium of Light erupted in celebration.
00:24The match was scrappy, far from a classic,
00:26but Sunderland's hunger and discipline were clear throughout.
00:30Nick Valtomado's own goal, a misdirected header,
00:34meeting Nourdi Moukielé's fizzing cross under zero pressure,
00:38decided the contest, but it was the collective performance of a young organised side that impressed.
00:45Granit Xhaka and Dan Ballard marshalled the midfield and defence effectively,
00:49while Reggie Labrie's recruitment strategy continues to show dividends.

01:48It's a statement of intent, a boost of confidence
01:50and a message to the rest of the Premier League.
01:54For Newcastle, the warning is stark.
