Newcastle United defender Paul Dummett could not resist a dig at rivals Sunderland after Saturday's FA Cup win for the Magpies at the Stadium of Light.
Eddie Howe's side put their recent poor form behind them with an emphatic 3-0 victory away to the Black Cats.
It was a first derby game between the two clubs in eight years and a first win in the fixture for Newcastle since 2011, emphasising a gulf in class between the Premier League side and the Championship outfit.
Newcastle took the lead after 35 minutes through a Daniel Ballard own goal and Alexander Isak made it 2-0 early in the second half after Pierre Ekwah attempted to dribble past Miguel Almiron on the edge of his box just 30 seconds after the restart.
Isak then added a third from the penalty spot in the final minute to wrap a big win for Newcastle and after the final whistle, the players celebrated in front of their 6,000 travelling fans at the Stadium of Light.
Dummett, who appeared as a late substitute in place of Dan Burn, posted a picture on X (formerly Twitter) of that moment on Sunday and inserted a "pile of poo" emoji into the name of Sunderland's stadium.
