Spurs keep up pressure but have Harry Kane injury worry

Tottenham 1 Sunderland 0: There was good and bad news for Tottenham, as Harry Kane scored the only goal of the game to move them into third place but was taken off on a stretcher before the end of a one-sided match befitting two sides at opposite ends of the table.

Kane struck from close range in the 59th minute for his second goal in successive league games, but injured his right ankle in the closing minutes and left the stadium on crutches.

Adnan Januzaj made a similar journey moments later after the Sunderland winger, on loan from Manchester United, was sent off for his second yellow card, an ugly studs-up lunge on Ben Davies. In truth, Sunderland got what they deserved – nothing – from a game in which they showed little ambition and were second best throughout.
