German striker Nick Woltemade received a sarcastic cheer from Sunderland fans after inadvertently scoring the match-winning goal.
Throughout the 75 minutes he played in the Wear-Tyne derby, Woltemade appeared isolated and detached in the opposition’s box. His difficult day worsened after halftime when he mistakenly headed a Nordi Mukiele cross into his own net from six yards out.
This unfortunate own goal became the decisive moment in a match filled with intense aggression but lacking in quality moments. Replaced by Yoane Wissa, the dejected 23-year-old was mockingly applauded by Sunderland fans. Once adored on Tyneside until this game’s 46th minute, Woltemade now holds a unique, ironically cherished spot in the hearts of mackem supporters.
