Bizarre and 'shameful' act committed by Sunderland fan with supporter's flag in Newcastle derby has him labelled as 'embarrassing' by fellow Black Cats followers

A Sunderland fan has been criticised by fellow supporters of the club for a bizarre act he committed during a game against Newcastle on Sunday.

The contest, which took place at St. James' Park in the second tier of the Women's Super League, saw the two sides play out a closely-fought encounter.

Shania Hayles scored the only goal of the game in the 77th minute to give the Magpies bragging rights over their North-East rivals.

But the fixture was overshadowed by the actions of one Sunderland fan - who was keen to poke fun at Newcastle fans.
