Tottenham sink deeper into relegation zone after 1–0 defeat to Sunderland

Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League troubles worsened after a 1–0 defeat to Sunderland, a result that keeps the North London club stuck in the relegation zone amid one of their worst league runs in decades.

According to multiple reports, Sunderland secured all three points through a second-half goal from Nordi Mukiele, a deflected strike that proved decisive at the Stadium of Light.

The defeat marks a continuation of Tottenham’s alarming form, with the club now winless in 14 league matches and struggling to generate consistent attacking threat throughout the season.

The result also deepens pressure on new manager Roberto De Zerbi, who suffered defeat in his first match in charge, as Spurs remain in the bottom three with only a handful of games left to secure survival.

West Ham’s heavy win over Wolves earlier in the week had already pushed Tottenham into the relegation zone, and this latest setback leaves them facing a tense relegation battle heading into the final stretch of the campaign.

Sunderland, meanwhile, boosted their mid-table standing with a disciplined defensive performance and a crucial home victory.
