Roberto De Zerbi is holding his press conference after his debut defeat in the dugout for Tottenham with their 1-0 loss at Sunderland in the Premier League on Sunday.
Spurs thought they had a penalty 20 minutes into the contest when the bright Randal Kolo Muani went down in the box through a combination of challenges from Omar Alderete and Luke O'Nien. Referee Rob Jones pointed to the spot bit was called over to his monitor by the VAR officials and ruled it out.
Both teams had chances in the first half with Brian Brobbey and Dominic Solanke denied by close range saves at different ends of the pitch.
Sunderland took the lead in the 61st minute after Nordi Mukiele drifted inside from the right and hits a shot that deflected heavily off Micky van de Ven and sailed into the net with Kinsky wrong-footed.
Spurs then lost their captain Cristian Romero after the centre-back was pushed into Kinsky by Brobbey. The skipper left the pitch in tears perhaps fearing for his involvement in Tottenham's relegation battle and the World Cup this summer. The visitors could not find a way back into the game despite 12 minutes of added time after the treatment required by Romero and Kinsky.
