In the first Tyne and Wear derby since 2016, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/newcastle-add-to-man-utds-misery-arsenal-extend-lead-23323150" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Newcastle</a> put Sunderland to the sword thanks to Dan Ballard&rsquo;s first-half own goal and Isak&rsquo;s brace after the break at the Stadium of Light. Newcastle had lost six of their previous seven ties with Sunderland, but their composed display neutered the fired-up Black Cats and delivered a first derby success since a 1-0 victory in 2011.&nbsp;
At Stamford Bridge, inconsistent Chelsea dismissed Preston with three goals in 11 second half minutes. Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino has urged his players to use the FA Cup as a route into Europe given their dismal form in the Premier League. Heeding that message, Armando Broja headed home to break Preston&rsquo;s resistance in the 58th minute. Thiago Silva nodded in the second and Raheem Sterling grabbed the third with a fine free-kick. Enzo Fernandez tapped in to complete the rout.
