My Opinion:
My man of the match was Eriksen. Spurs smash five past Sunderland. Despite a slow start from Spurs, they found their rhythm in the second half and eased past a sorry Sunderland. Eriksen was absolutely top class and instrumental in most of Spurs' attacking football. Adebayor netted a brace but both goals were simple tap ins whilst Kane managed to get himself on the scoresheet. Sherwood will be delighted with the way his team came out in the second half as the first half display was pretty forgetful. Spurs keep themselves in touch with Everton Arsenal for 4th but it still seems more likely that we will be seeing them in the Europa League next season.
Sunderland were desperate for a result with the situation they found themselves in but they came away with nothing and four goals worse off. They actually started the game really well and took the lead after Cattermole scored a really neat goal from long range. However, they went into half time at 1-1 and faltered away in the second half as Eriksen proved too much of a handful for their defence. Poyet will be disappointed but it's amazing what a few wins on the bounce could do for them - if they could manage that. With that defeat, Sunderland fall one place and sit at the bottom of the table.
Best Goal: Cattermole, Eriksen. Winner: Eriksen
