Transcript

00:00 Derby Day delight here for Newcastle United Stadium. United finished Sunland 0, Newcastle

00:05 United 3. The levels show today, Sunland a championship team, Newcastle a Premier League

00:11 team and for all that game, for most of that game, Newcastle United were a class above.

00:16 They took the lead for a Dan Ballard own goal, came after Joe Linton, a brilliant run down

00:21 the left hand side. Cross was I'd say converted by Ballard, I'd say it was a gift from Sunland

00:29 but Alexander Isak was at the back post ready to tap home. After the break Newcastle quickly

00:34 doubled their lead and that was a gift. Pierre Equa robbed a possession by Miguel Almiron

00:40 who himself set up Isak. Joe Linton came off injured which was a concern, went down with

00:47 a groin injury in the first half, only played a minute of the second half and had to come

00:50 off. His departure in midfield allowed Sunland to give Sunland a little bit of a route back

00:56 into the game. Physically they missed Joe Linton, Lewis Miley, for as great as he is

01:02 struggled to really stand his authority on the game straight away and proved as the game

01:06 went on admittedly. The result never looked in doubt to be honest, I think there was Martin

01:11 de Brodka made two saves with that, Sunland got themselves in some decent positions but

01:16 as I say Newcastle were the far superior team. They added a third right at the end, Anthony

01:22 Gordon fouled by Dan Ballard inside the penalty area and Alexander Isak stepped up to score

01:28 his second and write himself into Derby folklore. There weren't many who scored a brace in this

01:32 fixture so he is now one of them. Newcastle's first Derby win against Sunland since 2011

01:40 the last time they were here. Ryan Taylor right at that end free kick. Memorable the

01:46 way day four the 6,000 Newcastle fans behind me there you can still see they're inside

01:50 the stadium waiting to be let out and get back. Then buses straight up the A19 and I

01:54 suggest probably straight out to Newcastle tonight to enjoy that one. It's been a while

01:58 since I've enjoyed a win over Sunland. The clubs are at very different parts of their

02:02 journey if you like Newcastle are the Premier League team, Sunland are the Championship

02:05 team trying to get back into the Premier League so the levels showed but that win will still

02:10 taste really sweet for Newcastle United's fans, players and staff.
