Sunderland’s Last-Minute Hero, Adam Johnson Admits To Be Hated By Newcastle Fans

Newcastle fans hate the match-winner Adam Johnson for netting another goal against Newcastle. Three points were scored by Sunderland during its fourth successive game against Newcastle after Johnson agged home victory during the game's last minutes.

Adam Johnson has set three consecutive wins for Sunderland for three years now. Three wins, three clean sheets. These and his entire playing prowess must have made him the hate target among Newcastle fans. This was stated by Johnson after the game has been won over and Sunderland emerged victorious.

According to Johnson, 3-year-in-a-row winnings truly gave the team great boost. It is a massive win for the team and it not only uplifts the morale of team players but also promotes the essence of having a team spirit among them in every game. For Adam Johnson, the last-minute star of the game against Newcastle, playing for Sunderland and against Newcastle has been his personal favourite by far. Apart from the great atmosphere, the crowd is also all-giving. They rise up to the occasion, making the players feel not only "good pressure", but also the "hard push" to finally bring home the bacon.

Johnson further added that he could not have afforded missing the scores he made during the last minutes of the game considering that he missed a chance earlier on. Patience and timing truly became his virtue during the interim - that time he missed his chance and the time he's trying to get in to score for Sunderland. For him, the scores he made all the way to the last minute were attributed to him setting the right pace and matching it with his playing abilities. Of course, all could not be made possible without his other teammates playing and aiming for the same goal.

Sunderland's win put Gus Poyet's men 14th in the league with a sad ending putting Poyet's men to a run off in the last six games with no victory to foretell. On the other hand, after Newcastle's defeat against Sunderland, the former made it to the ninth with only one win to boast in their last five games.
