The Assasin's Arrows Not Sharp Enough! Toon Misery Started Again?

An end to end match when Tottenham took on Sunderland however not the dream Defoe goal that we were hoping for and so he failed to continue his record of scoring on every debut he has made for various clubs in the past. Having not played competitively since October I think he did well for the 75 minutes he played and could have easily been awarded a penalty. 

Sunderland showed great spirit against Spurs and could have taken something out the game when they were denied a blatant penalty in the last dying moments of the match and were unlucky not the get the decision to be honest. 

However Jan Vertonghen was denied what would have been his second goal of the game with a wrong offside call. Great game to have watched and a draw would have been more of a fair result in my opinion but Spurs edging it 2-1.  

Great match for the unpredictable new signing Elia scoring a brace in the 2-1 win for the Saints visiting Newcastle. Good overall performance from the Saints who looked confident in possession as they always do. Not a great game from the Toons perspective and a lucky deflecting shot claimed by Goufran was the only thing the fans had to cheer about. 

The Tyneside club showed some determination in the first half and the game generally looked tight. And to be honest Goufran should have had another goal with a free header in the opposition’s box. They greatly missed Pappis Cisse due to the African Cup of Nations. 

Where are the goals going to come from? End to end game with both sides having many opportunities to score and Newcastle should have had a penalty late on, close match finishing 2-1 to the Saints who stay in 3^rd position.
