scored the only goal of the night, and earned manager Martin O’Neill the 3 points.
Sunderland have now won 2 back to back games, and their home form is going to prove to be a major hurdle in Tottenham’s way.
With the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and West Brom breathing down their necks, Villas-Boas is aware that Tottenham cannot afford to slip up and have to focus and keep getting results.
Sunderland had a mixed start to the season, but have now moved 7 points adrift of the relegation zone after wins over Reading, Southampton and Manchester City. Speaking ahead of the game, Villas-Boas said:
“Their form is improving. They have come out a little bit from the pressure zone and in some ways we would have been better off playing them a couple of weeks ago. It is a major boost of confidence for them, so we will expect an extremely difficult game.”
“It is always difficult playing there, particularly when they have just won against the champions. They can’t find better inspiration that that. We are on a good run, but we expect a run for our money. Hopefully, we can get this festive period out of the
way with good results.”
