Kaoru Mitoma feeds Georginio Rutter on the edge of the area. He has work to do with three players in close attention but does well to work some space and thump home.
You have to say, Brighton deserve this on their second-half showing. Tottenham haven't really turned up since the break.

"Mitoma is the man for Brighton, he's leading from the front. He's the one making things happen for them."

Much better from Brighton in this half.
Brighton 1-2 Tottenham
Guglielmo Vicario has to tip over an awkward deflected cross that was coming down just above the Tottenham goal. The Spurs keeper then makes a comfortable catch from the corner.

Brennan Johnson sees a shot at the near post blocked by Bart Verbruggen, but the flag goes up for an offside for Cristian Romero from quite a lot earlier in the attack.
Brighton 1-2 Tottenham
That's really lifted the Brighton fans and it is their side doing the attacking so far in this half.

It's a big defensive mistake. Tottenham profited from one of those earlier in the game . Udogie really should have dealt with it.

We spoke about how well organised Spurs were in the first half. Somehow Brighton are back in the game. Ange will be fuming to give away something of that nature.
Tidy finish, so all credit to Minteh.

Poor defending by Tottenham as Destiny Udogie makes a mess of clearing a low cross and Yankuba Minteh capitalises to swipe in his first goal for the hosts.
Game on.

Not sure about that Jamey. I feel if Son Heung-min is fit, he starts. But then, I am not a Tottenham supporter so maybe I'm wrong.

Do Spurs actually look better as a team WITHOUT Son..?

Yes Madison probably deserved a call up but it's a positive for Spurs. Dread to think how much more lethal he will be with some rest and recovery. Didn't do Haaland any harm after all.

On Tottenham's second goal:
This is the perfect goal starting from the keeper. Great composure. Timo Werner with the pass to Maddison. Yes it was a mistake by the keeper but it was perfect

As soon as they get into the final third they have the runners. Spurs have blown Brighton away
Brighton have had their chances, they need to get Mitoma in the game more. He’s been the obvious threat for them.

On Brennan Johnson's form...
Confidence is high and it is amazing what confidence does.
It was a big price tag from Forest to Spurs and it takes time to adjust to your new surroundings.
The player is oozing confidence, he looks pacey and dangerous. He knows this Spurs team is creating so may chances.

At the game and Spurs seem much quicker with the ball and more aggressive off it. Feels like a long afternoon for Brighton

Spurs are playing well - but their kit looks like they're a team of painter and decorators.

Having lost consecutive Premier League home games against Tottenham without scoring in 2021-22 and 2022-23, Brighton won this exact fixture 4-2 last season.
Just one of the 14 Premier League meetings between Brighton and Tottenham has finished as a draw (1-1 in April 2018), with Spurs winning nine to the Seagulls’ four.
Brighton and Hove Albion have drawn their last two home Premier League matches, last drawing three in a row in November 2023. Indeed, since the start of last season, no side has drawn more home games than Brighton (8).
Tottenham Hotspur have won their last two Premier League games, last winning three in a row in December last year. Spurs have netted three goals in each victory (3-1 vs Brentford, 3-0 vs Man Utd), last winning three consecutively while scoring 3+ goals in April 2022.
Brighton won six of their first 10 Premier League games in October (D2 L2) between 2017 and 2019 but have since won just one out of 16 October games since 2020 (D9 L6), a 4-1 win over Chelsea in 2022.
Only Manchester City (115) have had more shots in the Premier League than Tottenham Hotspur (110), while Spurs have had the most shots on target of any side (45). It’s the most shots on target Spurs have had in their opening six games of a season on record since 2003-04.
Brighton have had 61.5% possession in the Premier League this season, their highest average in a single campaign in the competition. Meanwhile, only Southampton’s Jan Bednarek (520) has completed more passes than Brighton central defender Lewis Dunk in 2024-25 (510).
Dejan Kulusevski created nine chances for Tottenham in their 3-0 win over Manchester United, the joint most by a Spurs player in a Premier League game on record since 2003-04; the only other player to do so for Spurs was Christian Eriksen in 2013 vs Newcastle and 2016 vs Crystal Palace.
After not scoring or assisting in any of his first 31 Premier League appearances, Brighton’s Carlos Baleba scored and assisted in their 4-2 defeat to Chelsea. He is the youngest Cameroonian to both score and assist in a Premier League match (20 years, 269 days).
Since the start of last season, the only Englishmen with more Premier League goals than Dominic Solanke (21) are Cole Palmer (28) and Ollie Watkins (23). The Spurs forward is looking to find the net in three consecutive appearances for the first time since December 2023.
