Season summary

Sunderland's 1999–2000 season started at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea beat them 4–0.[1] However, in the return match later in the season Sunderland turned the tables on Chelsea, avenging their 4–0 defeat with a 4–1 win at the Stadium of Light.[2] Sunderland also achieved a 2–1 victory over rivals Newcastle United at St. James' Park,[3] a result which helped bring about the resignation of Newcastle's manager, Ruud Gullit.[4] At the end of the season Sunderland finished seventh, with Kevin Phillips winning the European Golden Shoe in his first top-flight season, scoring 30 goals.[5]
