Good evening and welcome to our LIVE text commentary of Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland! Spurs suffered the mother of European hangovers on Saturday

It's headed clear and Sunderland can break! No they can't, Howard Webb blows his whistle for full time and boos ring out around White Hart Lane

Bale has a deep thow for Spurs on the left wing

Spurs in possession and playing the ball around. It's lacklustre though, and time is ticking by

We'll have four minutes of stoppages, and there's only one side in this at the moment!

The freekick flies straight into the wall, and it's a Sunderland corner.

Assou-Ekotto leaves a long ball for Gomes on the edge of the area, but Gyan is closing in. Gomes blocks the ball but Malbranque picks up the rebound and Gomes brings him down! Yellow card, and a freekick right on the edge of the area. A yard further back, and that'd be a red card and a penalty!

Spurs attack, but the move breaks down and Sunderland can break

So, a pretty attacking change from Brucey! Does he fancy nicking this one?

Sunderland sub: Kieran Richardson off for Steed Malbranque

Poor crossfield ball from Zenden, which falls to Bentley. The winger cuts inside, does a step-over, and lashes the ball a long way over the bar with his left boot. Rubbish, quite frankly! Sunderland are about to make a change

Huddlestone tries to clip a left-foot ball over the top to Assou-Ekotto, but Onuoha muscles the Spurs fullback off the ball quite easily

Kaboul plays back to Gomes, and Spurs look to build from the back.

Ooof. Gyan goes up for a header with Gallas, and falls awkwardly onto his back. There's a pause in play for the Ghanaian to receive treatment

Whipped high over the bar! Not what the home fans were looking for, and they let Bentley know it.

Bentley to take...

Freekick to Spurs, 22 yards out centre-left

Richardson jumps with Bentley to challenge for the deflected ball, but Howard Webb sees a foul and Spurs have a freekick

Brilliant diagonal ball from Turner to Richardson on the left, but the winger's ball in is deflected back.

You guessed it, Spurs have got another corner! That's 16 for the Lillywhites, but Bentley's delivery flies out of play for a goalkick

Spurs have a throw wide on the right, Bentley to take
