Sunderland saw off local rivals Newcastle 1-0 on Sunday thanks to a Nick Woltemade own goal.
Sunderland were facing Newcastle in the Premier League for the first time in nearly a decade after spending years out of the top division.
Their goal came from an unlikely source when Newcastle forward Woltemade headed Nordi Mukiele's cross past his own goalkeeper in the opening moments of the second half.
The win lifted Sunderland to seventh in the table.
