Berbatov was left out of the squad, with head coach Juande Ramos accusing the striker of having a negative effect on the dressing room and being distracted.

Sunderland took full advantage and led through Kieran Richardson's powerful drive before Jermaine Jenas equalised. Cisse, signed on loan from Marseille this week, headed in with seven minutes to go - to inflict a second consecutive defeat on Spurs.

Roy Keane had Andy Reid and Steed Malbranque, both former Spurs players, in Sunderland's starting XI and both received warm receptions from the home fans.

It was Malbranque who came closest to opening the scoring in the first 45 minutes. The Frenchman struck the foot of the post six minutes before the interval with a low drive from long distance, with Jonathan Woodgate clearing the rebound.

The visiting fans were not made to wait long for the opener, with Kieran Richardson cracking his powerful half-volley perfectly.

Ledley King had failed to clear and then Richardson won a tussle with Jermaine Jenas 25 yards from goal before unleashing his finish. Spurs fans were still protesting for a handball as Richardson whipped off his shirt and ran towards the Sunderland fans.

David Bentley had a shot tipped over by Craig Gordon before the equaliser came with 17 minutes remaining.

Luka Modric burst into the penalty area and after his shot was saved, Jenas tapped into the empty net.

Then an unmarked Cisse got on the end of Daryl Murphy's cross to score the winner and compound Spurs' problems.
