Good result for Sunderland in this big derby game. After a good start to the season what is happening to Newcastle?

Derby draw
In the lunchtime kick-off Sunderland drew 1-1 with Newcastle United in the northeast derby at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland, without a league win in their last six games or a home win against Newcastle since April 1980, went ahead after 52 minutes when Danny Higginbotham scored his first goal for the club with a header. The visitors equalised 13 minutes later when James Milner's cross-cum-shot went in off the far post.

Keane tells Sunderland to learn lessons of derby draw

Written by: AFP


	Sunderland manager Roy Keane, seen here in August 2007, says he is looking forward to experiencing his first North East derby against Newcastle.. Passions are guaranteed to run high when Sunderland and Newcastle lock horns and Keane and his Newcastle counterpart Sam Allardyce will experience one of the Premier League´s most bitter rivalries.

SUNDERLAND (AFP) - Roy Keane admitted Sunderland had been taught a harsh lesson about life in the Premier League after they blew the chance to beat local rivals Newcastle.

Keane's side were on course for their first home victory in the Tyne-Wear derby for 27 years when Danny Higginbotham headed them into a 52nd minute lead.

But the hosts allowed Newcastle to level 13 minutes later when James Milner's cross crept in at the far post.

Sunderland should still have taken the points but Kenwyne Jones missed a glorious chance and Michael Chopra hit the bar.

It was harsh on the Black Cats but Keane insisted his players must realise Premier League opponents will hit back if they don't kill them off.

"The beauty of the Premiership is if you don't take your chances it will come back to haunt you and that's what happened," Keane said.

"We can talk all day about luck but the players had the chances. We keep getting these lessons in the Premiership.

"That will only change with experience. We've got a lot of players who haven't played in the Premiership before. These are lessons you have to learn and you have to learn them quickly."

Sunderland are slipping down the table after a run of seven matches without a win, but Keane is convinced his team will turn it around.

"I think Sam (Allardyce) will be slightly happier than me today," he said. "I thought the overall performance was oustanding.

"A few things are going against us but I've got great belief in the players. If we keep playing like that we will have a decent season."

Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce was relieved to avoid defeat after a disappointing recent run.

He conceded his side had started badly but was encouraged by the way they battled back.

"We deserved it because of our response after we went a goal down. It was what I was looking for from the start," he said.

"It's a little bit more acceptable if you come back from a goal down away from home in a derby game and get a draw.

"It's a big local derby and we haven't lost. That's very important for the fans.

"Up until the goal Sunderland had out-muscled us and we couldn't get our passing game going.

"Their goal was disappointing. We can't afford to keep giving silly mistakes away."

Poor Defending Leaves Big Sam Bemused
Although his side reacted well to equalise in the Tyne-Wear derby, Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce lamented his side’s “silly defending” to concede in the first place.
Sunderland took the lead in a feisty lunchtime derby through another bout of poor defending from Newcastle, an on-going deficiency that Big Sam is eager to eradicate.

“We can’t keep making silly mistakes at the back”, admitted the Newcastle boss.

“It was a silly goal to give away. First a silly pass from one centre-half to the other, then we should have cleared the ball for a throw-in not a corner, and then we allow them to score from there.”

“Set-pieces decide most games and we were punished there.”

But inadequate defending aside, Big Sam was pleased with his side’s reaction to conceding a goal, and felt they deserved a point and maybe more.

“Yes, I don’t see why we don’t deserve a point because of the response from going a goal down. “We had a fear which pepped our game after conceding the goal, and we might have even won it at the end.

“But up until then Sunderland out-muscled us and it’s disappointing, but in a derby we expect that.”

Nevertheless, Allardyce understood the local importance of the result from this game and therefore remained pleased he side didn’t end up on the losing end.

“We haven’t lost which is very important.”

Sunderland 1-1 Newcastle

Quote:

Danny Higginbotham (centre) scores the first goal of the Wear-Tyne derby.

James Milner dashed Sunderland's hopes of a first derby victory on home soil in 27 years as Newcastle hit back to snatch a 1-1 draw.
Danny Higginbotham's first goal in a red and white shirt had given the home side a deserved lead seven minutes after the break as they looked to end a run of five successive defeats against their closest rivals.

However, Milner played a neat one-two with Joey Barton before drilling a 65th-minute shot across Craig Gordon and inside the far post to ensure the spoils were shared.

• Sam will be happy with draw - Keane

There was almost a twist in the tail when former Magpie Michael Chopra headed an Ian Harte cross against the bar with just eight minutes remaining, but Roy Keane's men had to settle for a point on a day when they at least restored a measure of pride.

Rarely has a Wear-Tyne derby been anticipated as eagerly as the 127th league meeting between the sides, as there was more than just local pride at stake.

Sunderland went into the game having not won a Barclays Premier League fixture in six attempts, while Newcastle's capitulation against Portsmouth at St James' Park last Saturday had set the alarm bells ringing.

Both managers had impressed upon their players the importance of the game, although with 47,701 hugely partisan spectators inside the Stadium of Light, there was little need for them to do so.

Keane took a gamble on winger Carlos Edwards, who had not played a senior game since tearing his hamstring at Birmingham on August 15, and handed Chopra the task of partnering in-form striker Kenwyne Jones in attack.

By the time he headed for the dressing room at the break, the Irishman must have been delighted with what he had seen, despite losing skipper Nyron Nosworthy to injury with just 25 minutes gone.

Edwards and Ross Wallace provided good service to the frontmen, and although Abdoulaye Faye handled the dangerous Jones impressively, Chopra profited in and around the big man.

He sent an overhead kick wide on 17 minutes and was just off target with a long-range effort nine minutes later.

However, his best attempt came a minute before the break when he forced keeper Steve Harper to turn away a well-struck drive from distance, with the home side piling on the pressure.

Harper, who was born in Easington, a territory shared by the two clubs, had earlier kept his side level with a fine double save, scraping away Ian Harte's cross and then blocking Grant Leadbitter's follow-up.

He was a happy man, however, when Leadbitter powered a 33rd-minute header over with the goal at his mercy.

For their part, Newcastle were on the back foot for long periods as Sunderland worked tirelessly to close down space in midfield, although they did have chances as emergency left-back Charles N'Zogbia played his part in a series of lightning breaks.

Their best opportunity fell to Michael Owen on 28 minutes when he collected the Frenchman's deep cross beyond the far post and although his control was not perfect, managed to get in a shot which Gordon blocked.

A feisty half ended in suitable fashion, with Dickson Etuhu and Barton in each other's faces after the Newcastle man's late challenge, but both left the field knowing there were more important issues still to be resolved.

The Wearsiders took up where they had left off and Harper had to pluck a 48th-minute Jones header out of his top corner, although Wallace's cross did not have enough pace on it to give the striker a real chance.

Mark Viduka flashed a 50th-minute cross just over Owen's head with Paul McShane desperately trying to get across, but the fireworks came at the other end two minutes later.

Faye wastefully conceded possession on halfway to force David Rozehnal to concede a corner and it was taken quickly for Leadbitter to cross to the far post for Higginbotham to head firmly past Harper.

Owen flashed a header high over on the hour with the Magpies belatedly starting to make their presence felt, although they were dealt a blow on 61 minutes when Faye limped off with a hamstring problem and was replaced by Habib Beye.

But they grabbed a lifeline after 65 minutes when Milner exchanged passes with Barton and then sent a low shot across goal and just inside the far post.

Jones flashed a shot on the turn just wide and Gordon pulled off a fine save to deny Owen as play switched rapidly from end to end.

But in a frenetic finish, Chopra was denied by the woodwork as another late show eluded Keane's men.

• Sam will be happy with draw - Keane

Sunderland manager Roy Keane insists his Newcastle counterpart Sam Allardyce will be more pleased by today's 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats took the lead when Danny Higginbotham ghosted into the visitors' box to head home and Michael Chopra hit the crossbar late on after James Milner's equaliser from a wide position.

Keane told Sky Sports: 'Sam is probably slightly happier than me today. We didn't have that bit of luck today and we can talk all day about being unlucky but we keep getting these lessons in the Premier League and you have to take your chances.

'We had chances to win the game and these things come back to haunt you. But if we keep performing like that, we'll be okay.

'We have a lot of players who have not played in the Premier League too much and these are all lessons you have to learn.'

Man-of-the-match Kenwyne Jones believes the hosts deserved more than a point.

He added: 'We definitely deserved to win it and would have if not for that one piece of lacking concentration.

'We were the better side today and unfortunately we have to come away with a point.'

Allardyce took the opposite view, claiming United's comeback merited at least a share of the spoils.

'We deserved it for our response after going a goal down.

'The fear of going a goal down at that stage is the reason we picked our game up and took the game to Sunderland.

'Up to then, Sunderland outmuscled us and we couldn't get our passing game going, but that happens in a derby match.

'In the end it was a fair result. We've gone behind, it's away, it's a derby and we haven't lost.'

After Liverpool's storming 8-0 win in the Champions League though, and Newcastle's recent form I can only really see a win for the reds. My Prediction: Newcastle 1-3 Liverpool.
