Quite the opposite, actually. They kept throwing bodies in front of the ball, kept trying to create in the final third, and never stopped battling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there was no substance to the sweat. No bite behind the bark. That will only serve to further wash away whatever crumbs of confidence remained in a squad that is winless in their last 14 Premier League games &#8212; tasting victory just twice in their last 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tottenham are now without a win in their last 14 Premier League games (D5 L9).<br><br>Only once in their league history have they had a longer run without victory &#8211; 16 games between 1934 and 1935. \ud83d\udc40 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PTYwCIA0L4\">pic.twitter.com\/PTYwCIA0L4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/2043344968488525998?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 12, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-can-spurs-fans-take-hope\">Where can Spurs fans take hope?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Losing 1-0 and being rooted in the bottom three isn&#8217;t exactly a recipe for hope and optimism, but Spurs are going to have to hang their hats on something in the coming weeks if they&#8217;re to survive. So, what can they take from this match?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, Spurs didn&#8217;t let their heads go down when Sunderland went in front. There was still a distinct lack of quality in the final third, and in reality, Sunderland largely cruised defensively. However, they struggled to create further openings against a Tottenham side who stayed disciplined and battled hard at the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It definitely seems like De Zerbi has been able to galvanise the squad defensively, while they also showed more composure with the ball in their own half, with everything just breaking down when Spurs tried to penetrate the Black Cats&#8217; backline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Losing Cristian Romero to injury could be a huge blow. However, there were a couple of individual performances Spurs fans can take heart from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standout was surely Pedro Porro. The Spanish right-back has long been one of the few Spurs players looking determined to drag the side out of trouble, and he was their biggest threat at the Stadium of Light, creating three chances, playing nine passes into the final third, and stinging the hands of Robin Roefs with a powerful effort from distance in second-half stoppage time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Antonin Kinsky also deserves credit for an improved performance, given the post-Atletico Madrid pressure he was under, standing in for Guglielmo Vicario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, De Zerbi needs to find a way to get Spurs scoring goals. He has to find some rhythm between the likes of Dominic Solanke, Xavi Simons, Randal Kolo Muani and Richarlison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there were some faint embers of hope that Spurs can pull off a survival miracle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-next-for-tottenham-hotspur\">What next for Tottenham Hotspur?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tottenham face a huge test next Saturday when they host De Zerbi&#8217;s former club, Brighton, in his first home match in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, the Lilywhites are twice in the Midlands, first at all-but-relegated Wolves, and then at Champions League-chasing Aston Villa.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur&#8217;s survival hopes took a huge hit as they fell to a 1-0 defeat away at Sunderland on Sunday in Roberto De Zerbi&#8217;s first game in charge.
