Tottenham Hotspur can inflict another psychological blow on Premier League leaders Chelsea by beating them in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final tie at Wembley, striker Harry Kane has said.
"Sometimes because we're still second and Chelsea are still ahead people don't think we're doing as well as a year ago but 71 points already and with six games left it's incredible".
After three consecutive losses, and an incredible run of seven games without a goal stretching back to when they put four past Palace at the beginning of February, Sunderland showed they might have some fight left in them yet.
"I'm not trying to dig out Arsenal here but if we look at the Arsenal team at times, they have got passengers".
"We've said that if they fail, we must be ready and we will be there waiting".
Not only did Mousa Dembele score his first goal of the season, but substitute striker Vincent Jansson netted in stoppage time for his first from open play in the league since joining Tottenham past year.
Spurs finish the season with successive away matches, first against Premier League champions Leicester City and then against Hull, who are likely to be scrapping for survival. The Toffees moved ahead of Manchester United into fifth place on goal difference, having played three games more.

They could have had even more in this one as Bournemouth were woeful, and lost Jack Wilshere to injury. Harry Kane scored his 20th league goal this season with a predatory 48th-minute effort.
'To get to that 20-goal mark again is great and I could've had a couple more. I think today it's not important the gap we have with Arsenal."The most important thing is to do our job, try to win games and try to reduce the gap with Chelsea".
Since losing at Liverpool on February 11 they have won every game, scoring 22 goals and conceding only four.
Why would his players need to be motivated by him at this crucial stage in the season?
"The only way to build that winning mentality is to always play in the same tempo, with the same focus during the 90 minutes", Pochettino said. It has taken time for the players to fully adopt Pochettino's philosophy but now they have, they are flying.
His superb type continues to be essential for the Spurs, who appear to function as the main danger Chelsea have within their EPL title quest.
Spurs now sit 14 points clear of their North London rivals having played just one game more.
