| Sunderland came close to winning a third successive league championship in the 1893–94 season, finishing second behind Aston Villa. However, they regained the title in the 1894–95 season, ending the season five points ahead of Everton. After winning the English League Championship, Sunderland played against Heart of Midlothian, the champions of the Scottish League, in a game described as the Championship of the World title match.[9] Sunderland won the game 5–3 and were announced "champions of the world".[10] Sunderland came close to winning another league title in the 1897–98 season, when they finished as runners-up to Sheffield United.[11] That season was their last at Newcastle Road, as they moved to Roker Park the following season.[12] After coming second in 1900–01, the club won their fourth league title in the 1901–02 season, beating Everton by a three point margin.[13] Porcelain veneers Prestonkillarney hotels | |
