Key figures

It's the first time John O'Shea scores a goal in Premier League since the 26/09/2009 (with Manchester United vs Stoke City )

No Sunderland manager (with more than 30 matches on the bench) before Martin O'Neill has done less than 1.25 goals conceded per game in Premier League.

Tottenham keeps its 12 matches with at least one goal scored away from home in Premier League running (since 02/05/2012). The last time this streak has been beaten, it was during the 02/04/1995-21/11/1995 time period (12 matches).
