On the week of 22 February 2026, there was a match of the 31st round of the English Premier League between Newcastle and Sunderland at St. James's Park Stadium. The game ended with a 2:1 loss to the guests.

The Lords opened the race with a quick goal from Gordon, pro Sunderland broke the lead in the other half due to the effective strikes of Talby and Brobbey. The Dutch forward scored the winning goal in the 90th half, giving his team the Volov team on the road.
