Spurs should really have put this game out of sight when they had the momentum. Credit to Brighton though they’ve come out punching and are deservingly in front.

Think some of my fellow Spurs fans have forgotten what came before. You can try to force resilience like Mourinho & Conte (yawn) or you can build it like Poch. Let’s just enjoy the Big Ange journey.

Watch enough spurs games and you will know they need to score at least 3 if not 4 to get something from the game. That cannot be right and boils down to the manager and his system. I've been Ange out for months and months and every passing game confirms it for me.

Tottenham still have time to find an equaliser, but there's a bit more energy and desire in the Brighton players. Spurs need to dig deep to get something from this.

Those substitutions should have happened after the first Brighton goal and certainly long before the second. Glaring miss.

Alan Smith
Former Arsenal forward on Sky SportsPostecoglou hasn't got many choices in terms of experienced attackers, Mikey Moore is on the bench. This is an attempt to get some control back and see those attackers do what they did in the first half.

Who is the leader in this Spurs group? The guy who everyone respects and you can't look in the eye unless you've given 100%? We badly need some like that.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham
Mark Warburton
Former Nottingham Forest boss on BBC Radio 5 LiveSpurs have to change something here.
Brighton have nullified the threat, fair play to Fabian Hurzeler he has made the tweaks.
Brighton's defensive shape is so much better in this second half - they are working tirelessly to keep their shape.

Former Arsenal forward on Sky SportsSometimes there's no simple explanation as to what’s happened to Spurs tonight…That’s football.
It’s all about how you respond. Postecoglou is about to make some substitutions.
He obviously feels like he’s lost control in the middle of the park.

Match Facts
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.
