You know how Graham Potter normally looks quite composed on the touchline? He looks livid right now. A big half-time team talk coming up.

It's all Tottenham. Harry Kane picks out Son inside the box who tries to square it to Emerson Royal but he cannot finish.
Honestly, it should be 5-0.

Tottenham 2-0 Brighton
Should be 3-0!
Brighton are caught out by another fast Spurs attack and Harry Kane attempts to dink it over Robert Sanchez.
It's going wide when it hits Son Heung-min before flying out for a goal kick.

Ex-Liverpool midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt took a massive deflection, Kane and Moura were nowhere near in the middle and it took a ridiculous deflection off Solly March. A huge piece of luck for Tottenham.
GOAL - Tottenham 2-0 Brightonpublished at 23 mins
Solly March (own goal)
Spurs are on fire.
Emerson Royal collects the ball inside his own half and bursts forward before being forced out wide.
He then attempts a cross which takes a big deflection off Solly March and the ball loops into the net.
That might go down as an own goal but Spurs are flying.

Spurs are up for this. Harry Winks powers forward, turns his man, before digging out a shot which stings the hands of Robert Sanchez.

Saturday night football suits Spurs. There's a cracking atmosphere although Harry Kane's goal has helped contribute to that.

Nice from Yves Bissouma as he evades a challenge with a clever turn on the edge of the Spurs box but his finish falls well wide. Still, it's a first serious attempt by Brighton who were rattled after Harry Kane's lovely finish.

Spurs have started really well. The same cannot be said about Brighton's keeper. Moments before the goal, Robert Sanchez gifted a big chance to Harry Kane with a sloppy pass.

Don Hutchison
Ex-Liverpool midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveAbsolute class from Harry Kane. Brighton tried to play out from the back, they got it all wrong, Kane took it on the back foot and that is an unbelievable finish with a bit of curl right into the top corner.
GOAL - Tottenham 1-0 Brightonpublished at 12 mins
Harry Kane
Vintage Kane.
The England captain is 22 yards out and in space when he bends it around Robert Sanchez and into the net.
It's a beauty and it's lift off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Diving headed clearance by Davinson Sanchez to cut out a cross into the box by Marc Cucurella. The Seagulls look lively on the counter.

Ex-Liverpool midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveGraham Potter on a limited budget has this Brighton team playing some really good football. They need more goals but are definitely going in the right direction, a good team to watch.

Spurs are showing lots of intent and getting themselves into some good positions but they cannot get a shot away. Brighton are starting life after Dan Burn well. They're well organised at the back.

Free-kick to Brighton about 25 yards out which is curled into the box but Hugo Lloris makes a confident claim.
By the way Stuart Attwell, who was on VAR duty at Manchester United last night, is the ref.
Will there be any controversy in this one?

Spurs are prodding and probing on the edge of the Brighton box. A vital touch by Pascal Gross to prevent a first opportunity for the home side.
