And with Spurs frontman Harry Kane expected to be facing a period on the sidelines after being stretchered off with an ankle injury late on against Sunderland, Son could now even get a chance in his more favoured central striking role. A live radio broadcast stream of the Tottenham Hotspur vs. Sunderland English Premier League showdown can be heard via the internet on Sirius XM Radio, which comes with a 30-day free trial online at this link.
“All the lads are very passionate and love football, but sometimes it doesn’t go in the way you want”, Lloris added.
Kane was one of three Tottenham players to depart due to injury, after Eric Dier and Mousa Dembele had already gone off with cramp in their hamstrings.
Dembele was making his first appearance of the campaign after completing a six-game ban for gouging the eye of Chelsea’s Diego Costa last season. “We came here trying to get something, but we were always on the back foot from the start”.
“It will be really tough because they possess some really talented young players”.
Third, of course, is where Tottenham finished last season in the Premier League, earning them their first berth in the UEFA Champions League since 2010 under then-manager Harry Redknapp.
Pochettino had accused his team of lacking passion following the defeat to Monaco, but was far happier with the level of commitment his players displayed against Sunderland.
“Did the criticism hurt?”
Moyes, on the other side, will be without the services of Fabio Borini, Vito Mannone and Sebastian Larsson for this game with the trio nursing long term injuries. “That’s the way need to play every game, not only some games”.
“We were very disappointed”. He flashed a deflected shot just over in the first half with Pickford beaten and set up Son after the break, but his best work was in the first phase of attack when Spurs countered quickly.
Boss Pochettino was left anxious, however, after late tackle from Sunderland defender Papy Djilobodji forced Kane to leave the pitch on a stretcher with four minutes left.
“There have been changes”.
“But it was important to get three points in a very hard game”.

The Austrian was impressive last season when covering for the injured Vertonghen but Pochettino has preferred 18-year-old Cameron Carter-Vickers for his bench so far this term. “We could have been stronger in parts but we did OK”. We held our own.
