Sunderland Latest Football Team News
- Sun, 14 Dec 2025 18:26:07 +0000: Nick Woltemade own goal ushers in pantomime season on Wearside | Barry Glendenning - Sunderland | The Guardian
German striker was given a sarcastic ovation by the Sunderland fans after his inadvertent match winner
On numerous occasions during the 75 minutes he spent on the pitch during the Wear-Tyne derby, Nick Woltemade cut an extremely isolated, peripheral and forlorn figure in the opposition box. A bad afternoon for Newcastle’s German striker got significantly worse shortly after half-time when he cut an even more isolated, peripheral and forlorn figure in his own team’s box after inadvertently heading a Nordi Mukiele cross past Aaron Ramsdale from six yards out.
Woltemade’s embarrassing own goal proved to be the unwitting match-winner in a contest that had until that point been high on full-blooded aggression but low on moments of real quality. As he made way for Yoane Wissa, it was no surprise the Sunderland fans granted the visibly deflated 23-year-old a sarcastic ovation. A fan favourite on Tyneside until the 46th minute of this match, Woltemade has now pulled off the unlikely feat of winning a permanent, bitterly ironic place in mackem hearts.

Woltemade own goal settles Wear-Tyne derby
‘Our performance was not what it needed to be’
Eddie Howe vowed that he would not allow Newcastle’s defeat in the Wear‑Tyne derby at Sunderland on Sunday to define his side’s season.
“It’s a horrible feeling, it’s very painful,” said Howe, whose inconsistent team were sunk by Nick Woltemade’s spectacular second-half headed own goal. By way of exacerbating his distress, Sunderland’s players rubbed salt in visiting wounds by posing for a celebratory group picture on the pitch at the end. That was a riposte to the events of January 2024 when Howe’s assistant, Jason Tindall, ordered Newcastle’s players to pose for a similar photograph after a 3-0 FA Cup win at the Stadium of Light.
Continue reading... - Sun, 14 Dec 2025 16:17:14 +0000: Woltemade’s bizarre own goal hands Sunderland derby spoils over Newcastle - Sunderland | The Guardian
Eddie Howe is not the first, and is unlikely to be the last, manager outwitted by Régis Le Bris this season but few are likely to find the experience quite as painful.
Losing this most febrile of local derbies is a big deal and in past seasons has prompted Ruud Gullit and, later, Alan Pardew to swiftly relinquish their posts as Newcastle manager. Howe has far too much credit in the bank to contemplate such a notion, but a reverse sealed by Nick Woltemade’s spectacular headed own goal was still intensely chastening for a coach whose side never really got going.

Former striker scored a hat-trick in 1979 derby
Rowell had been diagnosed with leukaemia
The former Sunderland striker Gary Rowell has died at the age of 68, the Black Cats have announced. He was being treated for leukaemia.
The Seaham-born Rowell, who scored a hat-trick in a 4-1 Division Two win over Newcastle at St James’ Park in February 1979, died on Saturday. His death comes 50 years to the day since he made his Sunderland debut and just a day before the Black Cats host the Magpies in the first Premier League derby between the clubs since March 2016, at which the hosts will mark Rowell’s death.

Eddie Howe says revitalised derby rivals will be a tougher mental test for his side than the Champions League
Midnight was fast approaching when Eddie Howe faced a curve-ball question: if he could be offered a draw at the Stadium of Light on Sunday would he accept it?
If the typically straight-bat answer – “no chance, we prepare to win every game” – was expected, Howe’s subsequent reaction spoke volumes about Sunderland’s recent metamorphosis.
