Analysis: Seagulls' plan almost pays off

Brighton impressively beat Manchester City in their previous home game and this game had the credentials for another eye-catching result against a side expected to also be battling for a top-four finish.

They did not see much of the ball against Tottenham but their gameplan was effective, looking dangerous on the break when such opportunities came.

While Spurs fully deserved their equaliser it ultimately came from a moment of misfortune from the Brighton defence.

While they were eight minutes away from a very impressive win, the draw does continue their unbeaten form at home this season despite some tricky fixtures.

It doesn't get any easier, with an away trip to Chelsea next up for the Seagulls in the Premier League.
