Stadium of Light, 27 October 2013, and Gus Poyet's Sunderland beat Alan Pardew's Newcastle 2-1, a Wear-Tyne derby that opens their league account and lifts them off the bottom.
Steven Fletcher heads Adam Johnson's cross on 5 minutes after a short corner, before Mathieu Debuchy levels in the 57th minute from Hatem Ben Arfa's low effort across goal. Fabio Borini replaces Johnson in the 69th minute and almost scores at once, a shot squeezing through Tim Krul's legs before Krul recovers.
The Goal of the Day arrives on 84 minutes: Borini meets Jozy Altidore's lay-off and sends a rising, swerving drive from around 20 to 25 yards past Krul. It is his first strike of a season spent on loan from Liverpool, and it settles a derby that had looked bound for a draw.
Poyet has his first win as Sunderland manager in his first home game in charge, after going down 4-0 at Swansea the week before. By May Newcastle finish tenth and Sunderland fourteenth, so Borini's late stunner is the afternoon that finally gets the Black Cats moving.
The phrase "top bins" is all about the top corners of the goal, where the crossbar meets the posts. It describes a goal scored with precision, power, and accuracy right into the top corner - an unstoppable strike! It is synonymous with "finding the corner" or a "perfect" strike - e.g. "They've put that top bins" or "That is top bins!".
