The scoreline felt harsh on the young Black Cats after two goals from Spurs striker Will Lankshear either side of half-time, before Tottenham captain George Abbott added a third in stoppage time. Timur Tuterov then scored a consolation goal for the visitors just before the end at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

“I didn’t think they were that much better than us,” Murty told the Echo after the match. “I didn’t think 3-1 reflected the game. As I’ve said to the players, we stated at the start of the game the team that was most ruthless would win the game and I think it turned out that way.

“For all of our play and all of our chances we created, we weren’t as ruthless as they were. We credit them, they are a really, really good side but we have pushed them to the wire every time we’ve played them.

“I wish their staff weren’t so nice because they keep patting me on the back and saying how good we are. They are really good people and I know they work extremely hard. I credit them and respect them for what they’ve done, but I thought my lads deserved more.
