Spurs really need to finish in the top 4 this season as being in the lesser European competitions could put them in an Everton situation if they aren’t careful especially with how much building their stadium cost them.

Kaoru Mitoma has been a threat down the left and he is there again, this time sending a low cross to the near post that is cut out.

The same criticism towards Werner was being levelled at Brennan Johnson a few weeks back. Yes Werner needs to work on his finishing but would love him to score to lift his confidence.

Almost a second for Brennan Johnson as he holds off a defender to get to a ball into the box, but he flashes a shot over.

This has been an entertaining first half. There's definitely more goals in it.

Another game he is dictating; had a hand in the first goal, lucky with the second but he scored. How has Carsley left Maddison out of the England squad?

James Maddison has scored two goals in his last three Premier League appearances, as many as he netted in his previous 28 outings in the competition combined (two).

There's very little pace on it, its not in the corner and the Brighton keeper doesn't need telling
'Poor goalkeeping'published at 17:10 British Summer Time 6 October

Mark Warburton
Former Nottingham Forest boss on BBC Radio 5 LiveSpurs have green shirts flooding forward and the only surprise is James Maddison gave the Bart Verbruggen goalkeeper a chance to save it - poor goalkeeping.

Good job Ferdy didn't get his wish because Werner plays a key role in Tottenham's second, running onto Dominic Solanke's pass then finding Maddison, who fires in from just outside the box.
A crucial second with Brighton just applying some pressure.

Timo Werner, I want him to do well, he tries so hard but if we don’t sub him for Mikey Moore I’m gonna blow a gasket! So frustrating to watch.

You have to credit the reaction Brennan Johnson has had to criticism, he is absolutely flying now and looks a player full of belief in himself.

I think the top 3 is more or less a given but that fourth spot could go to anyone out of Villa, Chelsea or Spurs. So tough to predict!

The home fans raise the noise a bit with their side having a good spell now. Kaoru Mitoma is causing problems and he lifts a cross to Yankuba Minteh, whose first touch is poor and the chance of a shot on goal disappears.

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.
