Comments:

League position: 11th Unused substitutes: Tony Caig and Martin Brittain Scott Parker was booked after 57 minutes but his subsequent claim to the FA Disciplinary Committee for mistaken identity was upheld. However, his yellow card was transferred to Stephen Carr who, having been booked later in the game, became subject to a one-match suspension with immediate effect. The FA Premier League's Dubious Goals Committee ruled on the following: - Newcastle United’s second goal against Sunderland on 23rd October has been confirmed as a Shola Ameobi goal. [re: Circular 2 – 15/12/2005]
