Sunderland keeper Gordon blasts Tottenham's Defoe over clash

Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon has slammed Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe over the challenge that left him with a fractured arm.

Scot Gordon, 26, is out for at least two months after the sickening clash with the Spurs striker in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at White Hart Lane.

He said: "I thought at the time it was a poor challenge - and after looking at it again I haven't changed my mind.

"It's always dangerous diving down at the feet of strikers but I feel Jermain might have done more to avoid the collision."
