Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur
There's next to no chance of Brighton saving this game on the evidence of their performance tonight, and this scoreline will see them obtain their first six-match losing streak since 2006, and they'll have failed to score in their THIRTIETH home game since being promoted to the top-flight!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur
SAVED!!! Spurs steam forward on the break as Hojbjerg releases Kane. With Kulusevski wide to his right, the goalscorer looks to place a shot in the top corner, only to be denied by Sanchez tipping his effort around the post!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur
The home fans bay for a penalty after Maupay hits the deck inside the Spurs box. Coming from a chance engineered by the intelligent run of Welbeck, the Frenchman's attempted shot saw him brought down but to no avail!
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur
Whilst unable to exert any real control over this game, Gross was still very productive for Brighton in his 78 minutes on the pitch. His eight crosses yielded two key passes, and he led the way for the Seagulls in terms of touches and passes in Spurs' half respectively.

WIDE!!!! Brighton's best chance of the game so far!! Maupay has a close-range shot blocked that falls to Cucurella, who drills a low shot across goal! It takes a slight nick on its way behind, and so it'll be a corner to the Seagulls!
