Régis Le Bris fires brutal dig at Tottenham after Sunderland win | OneFootball

Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris has delivered a stinging assessment of Tottenham Hotspur following his side’s victory at the Stadium of Light, admitting he was “never worried” about the threat posed by the North London giants.

The result has further compounded the misery for Spurs, who saw their winless streak stretch to a staggering 14 matches in what was supposed to be a hopeful debut for new boss Roberto De Zerbi.

Despite the hype surrounding De Zerbi’s arrival, Sunderland appeared comfortable throughout the contest, exploiting a Tottenham side that looked devoid of confidence and tactical cohesion.

What Régis Le Bris said about Tottenham

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Le Bris was brutally honest about the ease with which his side handled the visitors.

While most managers offer diplomatic praise for their opponents, the Frenchman suggested that Spurs simply didn’t have the tools to hurt them.

“The opponent wasn’t strong enough to beat us. So, I wasn’t too worried,” Le Bris stated.

“We knew that if we remained disciplined and hit them on the break, the opportunities would come.

They have good individual players, but as a collective, they are struggling to find a rhythm. Today, we felt in control from the first whistle.”

Le Bris’s comments highlight a growing sentiment in the Premier League that Tottenham have become an easier side to beat for mid-table opposition.

Spurs have been woeful this campaign

The defeat leaves Tottenham in the bottom three, marking a terrible fall from grace for a club that was once a top six club.

With only 29 points from 32 games, the reality of a first relegation since 1978 is becoming increasingly unavoidable.

The woeful nature of their campaign is evidenced by the fact that they have yet to win a single match in 2026.

With just six games left to play, time is rapidly running out for the North London club to save their Premier League status.
