Sheffield Wednesday may have been English Champions but they were in no position to celebrate as they were involved in a huge relegation battle.
Sunderland were in no mood to make life any easier for the Owls. Sunderland had surprised many with their good form following promotion the previous season. This owed no small part to the leagues leading scorer Kevin Phillips, who had outscored the likes of Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry and Andy Cole.
It was Phillips again who was the Black Cat's hero, scoring with two more predatory finishes to win Sunderland's third Unofficial Championship and inflict more misery on Wednesday supporters.
