He's done it once already, and now Ryan Taylor is determined to repeat history and fire home another Tyne-Wear derby free-kick as United entertain Sunderland on Sunday (noon kick-off).

The goalscoring hero from Newcastle's 1-0 victory at the Stadium of Light back in August stayed behind after training on Friday morning to practice his set-pieces.

Taylor was pinging them in from all angles, and Club Photographer Ian Horrocks was on hand to capture the midfielder in action and give fans a glimpse of what they could expect to see this weekend.
