In the match of the 32nd round of the English Premier League, the Tottenham players lost 0:1 away to Sunderland in the debut of new coach Robert De Zerbi.
The only scorer in the game was Nordi Mukiele, who scored in the 61st minute. The London side are now two points behind their city neighbors West Ham, who are 17th, first above the relegation zone. Tottenham have a home match with Brighton in six days.
It was an even game that was broken by a goal from Mukiele in the 61st minute, writes Arena sport.
The hosts took the lead with a lot of luck after action on the right side. Mukiele rushed to the center from the right flank and shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball bounced off the block and completely deceived Antonin Kinski.
The Italian expert decided to trust the young goalkeeper in this game, after Igor Tudor took him out in the 17th minute of his team’s debacle against Atletico Madrid. However, in this situation, Kinsky could not prevent the rebound.
Until the end of the game, Tottenham tried to get back into the match, but failed, and with this new defeat, they remained in the ‘relegation zone’ in 18th place. The defeat against Sunderland was the 16th defeat of the season for Tottenham, who urgently need a positive result to stay in the fight to stay in the most elite English competition.
