Tottenham defeated Brighton by 2 goals to 1 to secure the ultimate points in today’s game
Tottenham Hotspur invited Brighton to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to see who prevails in their encounter. A win for the Spurs will place them in the Top four until Aston Villa plays Manchester United tomorrow. A win for Brighton will see them move past Manchester United with goal differences.
Tottenham Hotspur did not lose any game in their last four encounters; they had two wins and two draws before meeting the Seagulls today. The Seagulls won one, lost one and drew two before facing the Spurs today. Brighton started the season well, but their performances dwindled as the season moved on.
Fifteen minutes into the first half, Van de Ven fouled Danny Welbeck in the Spurs’ eighteen-yard box, resulting in a penalty, which Pascal Groß scored in the seventeenth minute to put BHA in the lead. The first half ended with Brighton’s one-goal lead. Sixteen minutes into the second half, Pape Matar Sarr equalised for Tottenham after his initial attempt deflected off Brighton’s defender to hit the woodwork.
In the 90+6 minute, as Brighton expected to take home a point, Son Heung-min, a substitute in the sixty-second minute, assisted Brennan Johnson in winning it for Spurs in regulation time. What teamwork made it possible for the Spurs to move to the top four with a point ahead of Aston Villa?
