7 Horrifying Stats From Newcastle United's Club Record Losing Run

2. 1 - Number Of Premier League Games Sunderland Have Won Since January, And It Was Against Newcastle

On April 5th, Newcastle visited the Stadium of Light and succumbed to their fifth-straight derby defeat to Sunderland, and the fourth reversal of their record seven-match Premier League losing streak, following Jermain Defoe's wonder strike in a 1-0 victory for the Black Cats. In the process, Sunderland won their only match in their last 10 and their first since beating Burnley 2-0 at the Stadium of Light on January 31st. The Black Cats have taken six points off the Magpies this season - two victories that could keep them in the Premier League, and possibly at the expense of Newcastle.
