At home Stadium of Light, Sunderland won an important 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the framework of the 32nd round of the Premier League. The only goal of the match came from Nordi Mukiele in the 61st minute, after a messy situation in the penalty area.
The match was dramatic and full of controversies, especially the decisions of the referee and VAR team. Tottenham were dissatisfied with some plays, including a collision in the penalty area and not drawing a red card to Brian Brobbey of Sunderland.
Roberto De Zerbi's team was even more disadvantaged when Romero had to leave the field early due to injury after a collision. 11 minutes of added time created opportunities for both teams, but no more goals were scored.
This victory helps Sunderland solidify 12th place in the standings with 46 points, almost completing the relegation target and can think about a European cup spot.
Conversely, this is Tottenham's fourth consecutive defeat in the Premier League. They are still standing at 18th place with 30 points, 2 points behind the safe group and facing a very high risk of relegation.
