Michael Owen scored both goals as a dominant Newcastle cruised past Sunderland to win the Tyne-Wear derby.
Owen put the Magpies ahead inside four minutes when he brilliantly got on the end of a Geremi cross to glance a header past Craig Gordon.
Sunderland were all at sea and fell further behind to an Owen penalty after Danny Higginbotham handled in the box.
Kenwyne Jones went closest to pulling a goal back for Sunderland with a header which was saved by Steve Harper.
