Tottenham recorded their first Premier League win of the new season after Ryan Mason's late strike gave Mauricio Pochettino's side a 1-0 victory at the Stadium of Light that sent Sunderland bottom.
The two sides came into the match placed 17th and 19th in the table and their lack of confidence showed in a disappointing match on Sunday.
The home side produced a spirited performance and had the best of the chances when former Spurs striker Jermain Defoe hit the post in the first half.
