Sherwood won't discuss his future

Tim Sherwood was keen to avoid talk about his Tottenham future after a comprehensive win that leaves Sunderland counterpart Gus Poyet hoping for a “miracle” in their relegation fight.

Emmanuel Adebayor’s brace complemented efforts from Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen and Gylfi Sigurdsson at White Hart Lane, where Spurs recovered from going behind to an avoidable Lee Cattermole strike to win 5-1.
