Sunderland 0-1 Tottenham: Late Mason strike seals first win for Spurs

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.

Tottenham did not have a single attempt on target until the closing stages, but Mason's 82nd-minute finish gave them the points, although he was injured in the process of scoring and left the field on a stretcher.

The crossbar denied Jack Rodwell late on as Sunderland were left to rue their bad luck.
