旗鼓相当！桑德兰击败纽卡后双方总战绩打平，各取54场胜利（势均力敌！桑德兰击退纽卡后历史交锋持平，双方各胜54场）

Evaluating historical match data

I see the user mentioned that Sunderland beat Newcastle, claiming that their total head-to-head records are now even at 54 each. Historically, Newcastle had a lead, with records showing 54 wins for Newcastle and 53 for Sunderland before January 2024, when Newcastle presumably went to 55 wins. This new update contradicts what I know. I should ask the user for the source of this information. It's important to provide context about the rivalry and clarify that counts can vary, including friendly matches.Crafting a reply about the derby

I think the best approach is to congratulate the user and mention that this is the Tyne-Wear derby. I’ll ask if they're counting all competitions and provide my last known data up to 2024, where Newcastle was leading in head-to-heads. I'll ask for the date of the match and the source confirming the 54-54 stat. It might be worth offering to pull the exact record if they can share a dataset. I can also include historical highlights, like Sunderland's unbeaten run from 2013-2016.
