just read the Sky Sports match report for that one
"Sunderland booked their place in the final of the Barclays Asia Trophy after they came from behind to beat Tottenham 3-1 in testing conditions....The first half was delayed by half an hour after a storm caused puddles of water to appear on the pitch, with the match also reduced to 40 minutes in each half. At times the game became something of a lottery, players on both sides struggling to keep their footing on a surface that cut up badly as the game progressed."
from the way its described, it certainly sounds like it emulated the avarage premier league match well.
