Did we deserve to win


even xg said we should have won, and missed final balls don’t score any xg

Our goal was lucky, that’s the only thing you can point to
 
We were the better team, but chances-wise it was fairly even. If we could pass in the final third of the pitch, it would have been 3 or 4-0.
 
I think we deserved it, just, I thought it was an awful game like. The game was littered with miss placed passes, over hit crosses, very little flowing play & this was from both teams. Even the winning goal was a heavy deflection. I’ll take a win like this all day long though, we’ve lost loads of games like this in the past. Plus it’s nice to see another nail knocked into spurs coffin. I’m not bothered whether it’s Spurs or West Ham, as long as it’s one of them.
 
Not watched it as away (I know I know)

But a fair few spurs fans who are here said we didn’t deserve it


So 1) did we deserve it
2) are they talking Bollocks
3) they being bitter ?

Did we "deserve it"

I do not care what we did or did not deserve

Score-line says - Sunderland 1 -0 Spurs. Happy days
 
Find it weird how some fans determine who deserves to win and what's lucky.

You get people saying a team is lucky to get a result if their keeper has an outstanding game (doing his role really well) for example.

Or if a team misses easy chances, so are shite in front of goal, that's somehow being unlucky, or the opposition is lucky.

In this instance, you can argue we got a bit of luck with the goal, but no one says it's unlucky when a shot is flying in, but takes a deflection to go wide. It was positive play that was rewarded.

We created much the better chances and one went in. So I'd say we deserved to win.
