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...
5. LB - Dennis Cirkin
Had an OK game defensively, with little chance to really break forward in a poor first half from a team perspective. Brought off after an hour having had a heavy workload on his return from injury. 5 | Getty Images
6. RW- Trai Hume
Had a solid game. Didn’t do much wrong in a poor team first half, and showed good resilience to dig deep in the second half. Got into decent areas and defended well against Tottenham’s breaks. 6 | Getty Images
7. CM - Granit Xhaka
Improved significantly in the latter stages after an opening hour in which he looked leggy like so many of his team mates. Couldn’t dictate the tempo as he usually does but good late on. 5 | Getty Images
8. CM - Enzo Le Fee
A tricky game to judge, Le Fee was well below his usual standards in the first half but the best player on the pitch in the second. Part of so much good play, hit the post with a header before registering another assist for Brobbey’s goal. 7 | Getty Images
