A Kevin Nolan hat-trick and a brace from Shola Ameobi ensured we demolished our local rivals in the famous ‘Demolition Derby’, recording our biggest win over the Mackems for more than half a century.

There was plenty riding on the occasion, with Sunderland arriving on Tyneside unbeaten in seven games and boasting one of the Premier League’s best defensive records.

However, Chris Hughton’s Mags had other ideas, 16 years ago today. In front of a 51,988 crowd, captain Nolan opened the scoring after 26 minutes with a spectacular overhead kick, before doubling our advantage just eight minutes later.
