Sunderland increased the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank as Brian Brobbey’s late equaliser gave the Black Cats a point.
Frank felt the fury of travelling supporters at the end of the goalless draw at his former club Brentford on Thursday, heightening the need for a victory over Sunderland.
Spurs looked on course for only their third win in 10 Premier League home games this season when Ben Davies broke the deadlock on the half-hour, touching in Micky van de Ven’s shot after Fulham failed to clear a corner.
It was his first goal since December 2023 against Brighton and only his eighth in 244 league appearances for Spurs.
Sunderland, too passive before the break, played with greater attacking intent thereafter, with Enzo Le Fee heading against the post before Brobbey burst into the area to give Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario little chance with a powerful finish 10 minutes from time.
