Spurs benefit from Bent blunder
Sunderland striker Darren Bent missed a penalty on his return to White Hart Lane as Tottenham secured a 2-0 victory through goals from Robbie Keane and Tom Huddlestone.[LNB]Bent caused his former side problems as early as the sixth minute when he carried the ball down the right flank and crossed - but Jordan Henderson stabbed wide.[LNB]The home side, however, were ahead in the 12th minute. Craig Gordon saved from Keane but the ball squirmed through the Sunderland goalkeeper and was tapped in by the striker.[LNB]Andy Reid struck the post before the break with a 35-yard dipping drive, before Bent won a dubious penalty. Referee Kevin Friend only gave the Spurs stopper a yellow card when he was the last man, with Gomes parrying Bent's placed spot-kick.[LNB]Gomes saved twice more, both times from Steed Malbranque, before Huddlestone had a powerful drive cleared off the line by Paulo da Silva, with Gordon taking a knock to his wrist in the build-up.[LNB]Gordon's injury saw him replaced by former Spurs goalkeeper Marton Fulop - but the first thing he had to do was pick Huddlestone's thunderbolt out of the net as the midfielder crashed home from distance.
