Nick Voltamed scored an own goal in the derby: how Newcastle's newcomer gifted Sunderland the victory.

Derby in Wear-Tyne: An Unfortunate Debut for Nick Voltamed

According to The Sun: Nick Voltamed became the hero of the derby during his debut in Wear-Tyne, but unfortunately, not for his team. The £69 million transfer turned fatal for the newcomer: he scored an impressive header, but unfortunately, into his own net. This mishap gave Sunderland the chance to celebrate a victory over Newcastle.

It is worth noting that the German stands at 6 feet 6 inches tall, but his misfortune ended with applause from the crowd at the stadium.

“It was quite an emotional moment for me. I tried to do my best for the team, but unfortunately, this situation happened”

Voltamed's unsuccessful game certainly caught the attention of fans, but it does not diminish his potential. He still has many opportunities ahead to make amends and prove his worth to the team. Derbies are always special moments, and although the debut did not go well, the experience will teach him to be stronger in the future.
