NEWCASTLE outclassed Sunderland at the Stadium of Light to win the first Tyne-Wear derby since 2016.
The Toon went into the match having failed to beat their fierce rivals in August 2011.
Eddie Howe's side took the lead on 35 minutes when Sunderland ace Daniel Ballard shanked Joelinton's cross into his own net.
Alexander Isak then made it two barely 30 seconds into the second half.
Ballard's afternoon went from bad to worse late on when he brought down Anthony Gordon in the box.
Isak grabbed his second of the afternoon from the penalty spot to secure a dream afternoon for Toon fans.
