Taylor shocked by Newcastle derby defeat

Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor was left stunned by their late, late derby defeat to Sunderland.

Adam Johnson scored a breakaway winner in injury-time.

Taylor told the Evening Chronicle: "We can't believe it. We were looking at the clock and thinking it would be a draw.

"We were just looking to see the game out. Maybe we got a bit carried away. Sometimes you have to shut the back door.

"It came from our own set-piece so we only have ourselves to blame.

"I just can't believe it's another season that we got beat."
