Alexander Isak Brace Secure Magpies First Wear-Tyne Derby Win Since 2011 In FA Cup Tie Since 2011 In FA Cup Tie—-Report as Newcastle beat Sunderland 3-0 to reach the FA Cup fourth round; the Magpies had not won a derby against Sunderland since 2011 having lost six of the previous seven derbies; Dan Ballard’s own goal and Alexander Isak’s double saw them beat the error-prone Black Cats

The first encounter between these two arch-rivals in eight years promised a tasty contest given Sunderland’s promising season as the sixth-placed team in the Championship, and Newcastle’s recent poor run.

But the Magpies’ dominance reflected the recent history between these two, as they dominated the first half before Daniel Ballard put into his own net from Joelinton’s cross (35).

Sunderland then shot themselves in the foot after half-time as Pierre Ekwah gave the ball away in the box to allow Alexander Isak to double the lead 36 seconds into the restart (46).

Michael Beale’s Black Cats tried to get back into the cup tie as Alex Pritchard hit the crossbar then forced Martin Dubravka into a superb one-handed save.

But a bad afternoon for Ballard was compounded after he gave away a late penalty for a foul on Anthony Gordon, which Isak dispatched as the clock ticked into 90.

But Newcastle held on for their first derby win over Sunderland in 13 years – and a spot in the hat for round four eases the pressure on Eddie Howe, with this game a potential banana skin amid a dismal Premier League run.

Arsenal Close Gap On League Leader Liverpool Following Hard Fought Victory Against Spurs—-Arteta men claimed a vital 2-1 win against Tottenham this evening, closing the gap on the Premier League leader Liverpool who drew to in-form Nottingham Forest.

The Gunners capitalised on Liverpool’s dropped points the night before, delivering a determined performance in front of a raucous Emirates crowd.

From the first whistle, Arsenal’s intent was clear. Leandro Trossard forced an early block from Spurs’ defence as the Gunners dominated possession and pinned their rivals back. Despite Arsenal’s control, Spurs managed to carve out a threat on the counter, with Dejan Kulusevski forcing a superb save from David Raya.

Tottenham silenced the Emirates temporarily when they opened the scoring against the run of play from a corner, showcasing their resilience despite being on the back foot for much of the first half.

Undeterred, Arsenal resumed their dominance after the break. Their persistence was rewarded when Dominic Solanke turned a dangerous Arsenal corner into his own net, levelling the scores. Just four minutes later, Trossard electrified the crowd with a stunning strike, completing the Gunners’ comeback.

Kai Havertz had a golden opportunity to extend Arsenal’s lead but sent his header wide. Meanwhile, Spurs pushed for an equaliser, with Ange Postecoglou introducing changes to inject life into his side. However, the visitors struggled to create clear-cut chances against a disciplined Arsenal defence.

Pedro Porro came closest to rescuing a point for Spurs when his effort struck the post, but the Gunners held firm to secure yet another memorable derby victory.

The result further solidifies Arsenal’s position in the title race and serves as a timely confidence boost after recent setbacks. For Spurs, the loss adds to a season of inconsistency, leaving them with much to ponder.
