Sunderland’s 10 Best Premier League Games Since They Won Promotion

This was more than just a derby fixture. 

At kick off, Sunderland had played eight games, lost seven, and picked up just a solitary point from the other.

Newcastle was just what the team and the crowd needed to bring the club back to life. SAFC got off to a glorious start as Fletcher nodded in a Johnson cross to give the red and whites the lead.

The Magpies worked their way back into the game following a Mathieu Debuchy tap-in, but it was Fabio Borini who would claim the headlines with a wonderful strike to win the game.

Just as the game looked to be petering out into a draw the passionate Italian struck, firing the ball past Tim Krul from distance.

Bedlam.
