Federico Macheda did it again for Manchester United, who continue to be pursued by Liverpool and Chelsea in the race for the Premier League title.
The headline-grabbing Macheda nabbed the winner at Sunderland for United, who had briefly been usurped at the top of the table after Liverpool thrashed Blackburn Rovers at lunchtime.
Chelsea are also still in the hunt, but nearly threw away a four-goal lead at home to Bolton Wanderers, while Arsenal rallied to beat Wigan Athletic.
Alan Shearer gained his first point as Newcastle United manager, but his side remain in the relegation zone after a 1-1 draw at Stoke City.
