Tottenham Hotspur's 1-1 draw against Sunderland has been marred by the home side being booed off their own pitch. The Black Cats' late equaliser, scored by Brian Brobbey in the 90th minute, was enough to hand them a hard-fought point.
The match had seen a spirited performance from Sunderland, who had looked like they were on course for a stunning upset before Brobbey's strike. The young German winger, making his debut for Sunderland, was the hero of the hour as he netted the equaliser in injury time to leave Spurs staring at a draw.
Despite this result, Tottenham will be breathing a sigh of relief that it wasn't an even more embarrassing defeat, given the manner in which they had dominated the first half. But despite their superior possession and chances, the home side couldn't find a way past Sunderland's defence, leading to Brobbey's late intervention.
The draw means that Spurs' winless run continues, and for the Black Cats, it was a welcome point on their return to the Premier League. The performance will give them hope that they can cause problems for some of the bigger clubs in the division.
