Sunderland 0 Tottenham 0: Match ratings, Great effort from Black Cats

SUNDERLAND 5-3-2

Vito Mannone: Brilliant diving save from Wanyama rocket in first half and rock solid in second. 7

Billy Jones: If anyone epitomises spirit Sunderland need, it's the right-back. Worked his socks off. 7

Lamine Kone: Tremendous return after African duty, made a great early intercept from a Kane cross. 7

John O'Shea: A giant at the back for the Black Cats against a gifted Spurs frontline. 7

Jason Denayer: An early howler aside, a good shift as part of a back three. 7

Javier Manquillo: Was asked to fill in at left-back after van Aanholt's exit and did it well. 6

Didier Ndong: Bright as a button in midfield and carried on from where he left off in his last SoL appearance. Star man. 7

Jack Rodwell: Put Defoe away early on with a good through ball and got the crowd going by hacking down Dembele. 7

Seb Larsson: Back at his busy best tonight, alongside Rodwell and Ndong in the middle. Some good deliveries too. 7

Fabio Borini: Had two terrific openings in the opening 45, missed the ball completely with the first and shot straight at Vorm with the next. Subbed with 18 to go. 5

Jermain Defoe: Facing his old club the striker was a livewire up top but saw precious little of ball. 6
