Season summary edit

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]

Team kit and sponsors edit

This season was the first in which the club was sponsored by car dealership Reg Vardy, and the last in which ASICS made the club's kit.[6]
