Postmatch editorial

Sunderland flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Sunderland 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Nordi Mukiele put the first mark on the match 61', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Tottenham Hotspur led Shots on target 2-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Tottenham Hotspur also shaded Corners 2-6.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Tottenham Hotspur the favourite at 39.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
