Sunderland drove to victory at St James’ Park, smashing the Magpies 3-0 in a fantastic match. The game sparked crazy scenes inside and outside the stadium. Paolo Di Canio threw himself all over the turf in celebration and outside it turned out Newcastle fans don’t take very kindly to losing against their arch rivals. After the game there were 29 arrests, missiles thrown and bins set on fire! It seems violence won’t go away in English football at the moment…
The draw for the UEFA Europa League quarterfinal stage:
First legs to be played April 4, return legs on April 11.
Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse wowed us last year with that beautiful volley against Chelsea, a goal many said was the season’s best.
Today, Cisse was up to his old tricks and scored a wonderful goal against Southampton: a thunderous dipping volley off one bounce, about 30 yards away. Now that’s certainly the goal of the weekend (with apologies to Rafael) and a Goal of the Month Nominee! #GOMonFOX
Manchester United debutant Ryan Tunnicliffe (#46) not only made his father a proud man on Wednesday. He also made his dad over $16,000 richer.
Mr Tunnicliffe obviously had great faith in his son’s early ability and, when the boy was just nine years old, he placed a £100 bet at odds of 100/1 that his flesh and blood would one day play for United’s first team.
Ten years on, the former England Youth international completed his rise through the United ranks to come on as a 77th-minute substitute for Wayne Rooney in the 2-1 win over Newcastle, earning his father £10,000 in the process.
