Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Sunderland – Match Report

A late Brian Brobbey goal earned Sunderland their 4th successive draw, as they come back from behind to gain a point, yet again.

Tottenham started the game the stronger of the 2 sides, and Ben Davies scored a deserved following a well worked corner.

The ball was whipped into the back post, where Romero was free he played the ball to Van De Ven, who then fired the ball towards goal and Davies got a touch to divert the ball past Robin Roefs.

The Black Cats always seem to play far better in the 2nd half of games, and that was the case here, as they came out for the 2nd 45 fighting.

Trai Huke had a header cleared off the line just 6 minutes into the half, and Brian Brobbey almost capitalized on a Christian Romero mistake as his deflected effort hit the outside of the post.

Enzo Le Fee also hit the woodwork as he glanced a header towards goal and onto the post after a brilliant cross by Nordi Mukiele.

Sunderland’s 2nd half pressure eventually prevailed with 10 minutes to go, as Granit Xhaka won the ball back in a good position before playing the ball to Brobbey, who played a brilliant give and go with Enzo Le Fee and smashed the ball into the top left corner.

The Black Cats almost won the game late on after Trai Hume’s curling effort was tipped over the bar by Vicario.

Spurs fans voiced their frustrations after dropping points at home again at full-time.

Next up for Sunderland is Everton away in the FA Cup next Saturday, with kick off at 12:15pm.
