Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Tottenham against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. Stay tuned for team news and match coverage.

Kane is given far too much space on the edge of the Sunderland box, but the England striker's shot rises narrowly over the bar.

Sunderland break and Defoe lets fly with a dipping strike from distance, but it's an easy one for Lloris to deal with.

Son swings in a dangerous cross from the free-kick, but Sunderland's defence manage to scramble it clear.

Jones fouls Alli out on the left as the former MK Dons man continues to cause problems for the Sunderland defence.

Van Aanholt turns down the opportunity for a shot and squares it to Defoe, who needs no second invitation to let fly. It is easily blocked by the Spurs centre-backs, but has got the home fans off their seats for the first time.

Alli has been heavily involved in the opening minutes of the game, playing in the advanced midfield position behind Kane. With Christian Eriksen out injured Spurs are lacking some creative spark, but the youngster has shown some classy touches so far and looks to have given them more of an obvious goal threat than in their previous matches.

Adebayor had a year left on his Spurs contract and no prospect of any first-team action, so thankfully there seems to have been some common-sense by both parties to end their association.

There's a breakneck pace to the game in the opening moments, with both teams committing numbers forward in attack and leaving themselves exposed on the break.

Van Aanholt goes into a clumsy challenge early on and there are big calls for a penalty from the visitors, but referee Craig Pawson waves the appeals away.

The visitors get the game underway at the Stadium of Light.

Spurs hand a debut to their big summer signing Heung-Min Son and there's also a shock start for youngster Alli. Spurs are also searching for their first win of the season after their worst start to a season for seven years.

Defoe and Kaboul start against their former club, with the Black Cats looking for their first win of the season.
