won the game on a penalty shootout, after Michael Gray had his penalty saved by Charlton goalkeeper Saša Ilić. In the 1998–99 season Sunderland secured their Premier League place by winning the Division One title with a then record 105 League points. They clinched promotion at Bury by winning 5–2. Kevin Phillips won the European Golden Shoe in his first top-flight season with Sunderland, scoring 30 goals. In September 2001, Sunderland chairman Bob Murray announced the separation of Sunderland's charitable and community work from the mainstream club activity, and the independent SAFC Foundation was created. Later, the foundation came to be known as the Foundation of Light. In 2001–02 Sunderland narrowly avoided relegation. They were the lowest scoring team in the Premier League, with 29 goals, ending the season in seventeenth place and being knocked out of both English Cup competitions in their first rounds. In 2002–03 they finished at bottom of the Premier League, with 4 wins, 21 goals, and 19 points, an English Premiership record low at that time.

Wilkinson's reign was unsuccessful, and he left the club after only six months in charge. Former Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy came to the club in March 2003, but could not prevent relegation. In the 2003–04 season Sunderland finished third in Division One, and only a penalty shoot-out defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace prevented them from reaching the play-off final for a promotion place.

McCarthy was sacked in March and replaced by caretaker manager Kevin Ball. He took Sunderland to their first home win of the season, a 2–1 victory over Fulham.
