Sunderland 0 Tottenham 1: Spurs earn first win
RYAN Mason fired Tottenham to their first Barclays Premier League victory of the season as Sunderland were made to wait for theirs.
The midfielder stabbed home an 82nd-minute winner from substitute Erik Lamela’s through-ball to snatch a 1-0 win the Londoners scarcely deserved after being second-best for much of what had gone before.
Jermain Defoe and Jack Rodwell both hit the woodwork for the Black Cats on a day when they were much improved, but were unable to make the pressure tell in front of a crowd of 40,303 at the Stadium of Light.
