TOTTENHAM blew a chance to move into the top half of the table as Brian Brobbey rescued a 1-1 draw for Sunderland in north London.
Thomas Frank has come under fire over poor results in recent weeks but looked to be on the verge of securing a big win that would ease the pressure on his position.
But Spurs – who have a dreadful record of just two wins at home this season – now have just one win in their last five Premier League games.
Davies, who is Tottenham’s longest-serving player after joining in 2014 was a surprise inclusion in the starting line-up.
But he repaid Frank’s faith by tapping home from close range after Cristian Romero’s pull-back was slid into his direction by Mickey van de Ven and he could make no mistake.
Sunderland came into this game after getting a point off Manchester City after a spell of four games unbeaten.
And they continued that form as the best team in the second half, with Morgan Le Fee coming close late on as he headed a shot onto the post.
And with ten minutes to go, Brobbey played a fantastic one-two with Le Fee before firing into the corner.
