Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Sunderland. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Brian Brobbey 80', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Tottenham Hotspur led Shots on target 5-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Sunderland also shaded Corners 3-5.
