The referee Rob Jones caused this injury to Romero. Refusal to penalize Sunderland for their thuggishness emboldened them. All the way to Brobbey feeling comfortable dangerously shoving Spurs players into one another. Gross negligent officiating.

The situation is extremely serious. A Premier League win in 2026? They don’t have it.
naija plug daily emphasized on the loses and records:
Tottenham Hotspur sink deeper into relegation trouble after 1-0 loss to Sunderland, risking their first drop from EPL since 1977 as pressure mounts on Roberto De Zerbi.
The defeat leaves Tottenham 18th in the table, deep in a relegation battle, just weeks after De Zerbi’s appointment on a four-year deal following the dismissal of Igor Tudor.
Off the pitch, Spurs are also planning for the future, having reached a verbal agreement with Andy Robertson over a potential move from Liverpool FC. However, the transfer remains dependent on the club avoiding relegation this season.
