Sunderland Vs Tottenham Hotspur: Player Ratings

Vito Mannone - 5

Both goals seemed to go through him a little for me. You can't be too critical as both were from close range, but both perfectly savable.

Ondrej Celustka - 5

Mixed bag. Involved in the Sunderland goal and then fell asleep to allow Spurs to equalise almost immediately.

John O'Shea - 5

Own goal, and one of a number who really struggled to cope with Spurs' pace and power.

Wes Brown - 6

Best of a poor backline, but not by all that much.

Phil Bardsley - 5

Another slow reactor for the Spurs equaliser. A little wasteful in attack, a little pedestrian in defence.

Adam Johnson - 6

Typically inconsistent. Scored a lovely goal but was culpable for the Tottenham winner.

Ki Sung-Yeung - 6

Only midfield player with any real quality, but not one of his more influential games.

Jack Colback - 4

Very poor again from Colback. Got caught on the ball a little too much and offered little in terms of invention.

Seb Larsson - 4

See Jack Colback really. The midfield was very much where this one was lost.

Steven Fletcher - 4

Looking badly out of sorts and struggling for... well something.

Jozy Altidore - 5

Always looked like he might do something, without actually doing anything.

Lee Cattermole - 6

Added the required second half bite to the powder-puff midfield. Poyet needs to get him back into the starting line-up really.

Fabio Borini - 6

Offered a lot of movement and a semblance of threat from the bench. Missed the big chance to equalise, though.

Emanuele Giaccherini - 6

Nice little cameo with some flashes of quality. Always feel there is more to come from the Italian.

Man Of The Match: Take Your Pick, Really

No one really stood out at all for me. I won't waste anyone's time shoehorning someone in here just for the sake of it. Knock yourselves out!
