Sometimes you do not get what you deserve. Sunderland merited a victory that would have taken them above Tottenham in the table, while Darren Bent's dive for a penalty - which he took and missed - should have earned him a yellow card.[LNB]Tottenham deserved nothing, yet won to offset the defeat against Stoke a fortnight ago when they had dominated the game.
