Newcastle United moved up to second place in the English Premiership today after a hard-fought 1-0 victory at their north-east rivals Sunderland.
Greek defender Nikos Dabizas, who had hit the crossbar minutes earlier, headed the winner in the 64th minute to leave Bobby Robson's side on 55 points - just two behind champions Manchester United.
Newcastle, who also have a game in hand on Alex Ferguson's side, were the better team on the day and fully deserved their win, though they also needed a handful of fine saves from their Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given.
Arsenal, who also have a game in hand on Manchester United, lie third on 54 points.
