Newcastle United suffered a 2-1 defeat to Tyne-Wear rivals Sunderland at St James’ Park.
Anthony Gordon gave the Magpies the lead 10 minutes into the game but the Black Cats turned it around in the second with goals from Chemsdine Talbi and Brian Brobbey.
Newcastle were without Sandro Tonali through injury as Eddie Howe made two changes from the side that lost 7-2 to Barcelona in the Champions League in midweek.
The Italian was left out of the matchday squad altogether while Malick Thiaw dropped to the bench as Nick Woltemade and Sven Botman came into the starting XI.
The Magpies were quick out of the traps and took the lead 10 minutes in. Luke O’Nien passed the ball straight to Nick Woltemade and the German found Anthony Gordon in the box, who finished into the bottom left corner.
Aaron Ramsdale earlier produced an excellent save to deny Chemsdine Talbi but was beaten by the same player on the hour-mark. Brobbey then won it in the 90th minute.
