Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio
hailed his side's spirit after coming from
behind to beat Tottenham 3-1 in a rain-
affected friendly.
A torrential downpour saw kick-off
delayed by half an hour in Wednesday's
Asia Trophy contest at the Hong Kong
Stadium, while the match was shortened
to 40 minutes each way.
Sunderland adapted to the conditions well and, despite falling behind to Gylfi
Sigurdsson's first-half opener, they battled back with strikes from newcomers Cabral
and Moberg Karlsson, with Wes Brown adding a header in between.
Di Canio was buoyed by the display and feels his charges are looking good ahead of
the new campaign.
"A win is always good but the way it came made me happy because it is the first
official game in a tournament against one of the best sides in the league," Di Canio
told Sky Sports.
