Tottenham booed off after Sunderland draw as pressure mounts on Thomas FrankBy George Sessions, Press AssociationTottenham started 2026 by dropping more points at home and were booed off after Sunderland struck in the 80th minute through Brian Brobbey to rescue a 1-1 draw. It was a timely boost for Thomas Frank amid a difficult winter period where a lack of style and attacking flair has led to criticism from a disgruntled fanbase. Sunderland responded with typical spirit given their superb campaign back in the top-flight and Trai Hume lashed over from a corner before half-time. Brobbey and Romero got involved in a running battle afterwards and while Richarlison wasted a fine opening for Tottenham, Sunderland refused to go away. It sparked an end-to-end finale but Palhinha headed wide in stoppage-time to ensure a 1-1 draw.
