Simon Mignolet: Has turned his attention to the upcoming Wear-Tyne derby

Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet does not expect his side's showing in the upcoming Wear-Tyne derby to be affected by their first defeat of the season.

Reigning Premier League champions Manchester City took the Black Cats apart 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, with Joe Hart barely troubled in the home net.

But Mignolet insists it will be a completely different scenario when Sunderland host Newcastle at the Stadium of Light after the international break.

He told the Sunderland Echo: "Joe Hart only made one really good save from the (Steven) Fletcher header, but it's a totally different game when you play Newcastle at home than away at the Etihad against Manchester City.

"It's a different game and we'll try to do our very best to get a result against Newcastle.

"We have to move on from this now. It's a game away to Manchester City and that's never going to be an easy one and we've got a very important home game when we come back from the international break.

"We can't dwell on things and hopefully we come back fresh and fit and get a good result against Newcastle at home."
