Sunderland were back in Premier League action as they faced Spurs on Sunday afternoon.
Ben Davies scored in the first half to give Spurs a deserved lead, but the visitors battled back well and equalised thanks to a brilliant effort from Brian Brobbey. Here’s how we rated all the Black Cats involved on the day...
1. GK - Robin Roefs
Nothing he could do about the opening goal. Didn’t actually have too many saves to make despite the host’s first-half dominance. Steady in the second. 6 | AFP via Getty Images
2. RB - Lutsharel Geertruida
Actually had a better game when he moved into midfield, where he competed well and helped Sunderland get on top. One of many who looked lethargic in the first half but improved. 6 | AFP via Getty Images
3. CB - Nordi Mukiele
Cut a frustrated figure in the first half and didn’t quite look at his best, but found another gear when moved out to right back in the second half. Played a key part in the goal and the chances that built pressure just before it. 7 | Getty Images
4. CB - Omar Alderete
Some trademark moments of class on the ball but definitely a bit below his usual solid defensive best here. Got away with a couple of lapses but got through it. 5 | Chris Fryatt
