Tottenham's collapse continues as De Zerbi debuts! + The decision taken by the Italian in the case of Drăgușin

The match at the Stadium of Light was the debut of Roberto De Zerbi on the bench of the Londoners. Radu Drăgușin started the match from the bench.

After a 0-0 first half, Mukiele scored in the 61st minute to give the home team three points.

Radu Drăgușin, unused reserve for De Zerbi's debut at Tottenham

In the first half, the game was balanced, but Radu Drăgușin's formation was more dangerous, even if he failed to score. Romero, Van de Ven and Pedro Porro each received a yellow card by half-time.

The second half started with the home team attacking. Sunderland managed to score through Nordi Mukiele: he penetrated from the lane, escaped from the defensive marking of the Tottenham players, shot, and his execution, deflected by Mickey van de Ven, entered the goal defended by Kinsky.

Roberto De Zerbi didn't count on Radu Drăgușin, the Romanian from Tottenham's team. The new coach of the Londoners made only one change in the defensive compartment: he replaced the injured Romero with Kevin Danso in the 70th minute.
