Selected quotes from the BBC website . . . . . .
In normal circumstances, a point at Martin O'Neill's resurgent
side would be praiseworthy, but in Tottenham's position it represents a
minor setback.
Spurs began the game brightly, but the home side neutralised the match, resulting in few clear-cut chances.
Harry Redknapp's team began purposefully, zipping passes around neatly in midfield and looking every inch the likely winners.
As the team in greater need of a win, Tottenham were more proactive, but they were unable to break down the home side
Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill:
"We weren't going to allow them to come here and pick up three points. We had some chances ourselves.
"While we didn't reach the heights of last week [at
Manchester City] in terms of possession we were up against a top team
vying for a Champions league place. It has been a commendable effort
from our players.
"We played two teams in the top four. We should have won at City and have got a draw here today."
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp:
"It's always a difficult place to come but I thought it was a game we could have won.
"They looked to play on the counter-attack and it was
difficult to break them down. It's an important point, though, and a
clean sheet and if you keep picking up clean sheets you won't be far
away."
