Introducing Gus Poyet to the Tyne-Wear derby. The new Sunderland boss endured a nightmare start to his tenure, a hefty 4-0 defeat to Swansea, since taking over from the character that is Paulo Di Canio but that can all be put right in a match we’ll simply call ‘the BIG one’. Welcome to LIVE coverage of the crucial clash between Sunderland and Newcastle at the Stadium of Light.

Highlights

90+4'

Newcastle pump it long. Ameobi is underneath it... Cabaye has a chance to shoot... Westwood saves easily. Whistles ring out. Lee Probert responds. Sunderland have claimed their first win of the season! They're off the bottom of the league. Gus Poyet is already a hero at the Stadium of Light.

90+3'

Third successive corner for Sunderland. The visitors just can't get the ball upfield.

90+2'

Sunderland running down the clock in the corner. Larsson jogs over to take a set-piece. Well walks...

90+1'

A long ball through the middle goes out for a Sunderland goalkick. They're so close to their first win of the season.

90'

Cries of anguish greet the stadium announcer's message: "there will be a minimum of four minutes added time."

89'

John O'Shea, who has barely put a foot wrong today, gets caught under the ball and his header loops over Westwood. Surely this can't go in? No! The keeper recovers to save the former United man's blushes.

88'

Just seen a shot of the away end. Dejected is an understatement.

87'

"We're by far the greatest team the world has even seen" sing the Sunderland faithful. That is very debatable, but we'll forgive them given the context of this derby.

86'

Dozens of fans broke past security to celebrate with Borini. Sheer elation in the home end.

85'

GOAL! Altidore, with his back to goal, feeds Borini. The Italian lashes an outswinging shot which Krul can only get a faint touch as it flies into the net. Great strike. Is that the winner?

84'

Ben Arfa worms his way in off the right flank. He skips past three before firing his effort straight at a red and white shirt.

83'

And the ball is back in the hands of Krul. Again, no rush to take his kick. You just wonder if both sides are secretly content with a draw here.

82'

Now it's Newcastle turn to take their time as Krul spends ages over the simple task of hoofing a goalkick downfield.

81'

It's Fletcher... It's terrible. Straight at the wall.

80'

Larsson and Fletcher chatting amongst themselves. Plenty of build up for this free-kick...

79'

Tiote is shrugged off the ball. The Sunderland fans respond. Altidore goes to ground on the edge of the penalty area. The hosts have a free-kick in a very tasty position. Larsson grabs the ball. He fancies this.

78'

Ameobi looks gutted, hands on head. Here's why: he's just flashed an effort wide of Westwood's post. If that was on target, the keeper probably wouldn't have got there.

77'

Warm reception for Bardsley as he gingerly departs the pitch. On comes Ondrej Celustka. That's Sunderland's quota of substitutes all used. It's all down to the XI on the pitch now.

76'

Ben Arfa jinks this way and that, throwing in feints as he goes. It's worked to Santon but his shot flashes wide.

75'

Fletcher tries to spring in behind the Newcastle defence but the linesman's flag shoots straight up.
