Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

The ultimate game of two halves, Brighton emerge from the restart a completely changed side and overturn a two-goal deficit in just 18 second-half minutes to stun Tottenham with a 3-2 win at the American Express Stadium. Postecoglou’s side looked comfortable after 45 minutes, putting the ball in the back of the net on three separate occasions (with one disallowed for offside) and took a 2-0 lead ahead of the 40-minute mark through Johnson and Maddison. The introduction of Estupinan for Kadioglu at left-back during the break seemingly reversed the hosts’ fortune, with the substitute playing a role in both Minteh and Rutter’s strikes within a quarter-hour of the resumption of the match. After squandering chances in the first period, Welbeck made the most of his opportunity on 66 minutes, heading Rutter’s cross past a helpless Vicario to complete the comeback that saw the Seagulls go from 2-0 down to 3-2 ahead with 24 minutes left in the contest. Spurs struggled to create anything after conceding the third and looked likelier to allow another, with Brighton opting instead to do their best to see out the impressive result. Hurzeler’s team win with an xG of 1.82 (with 64 per cent of that output coming in the second half) compared to 1.39 from their opponents and go sixth ahead of a meeting with Newcastle in two weeks’ time, while the loss for Tottenham drops them to ninth before a game against West Ham on October 19. That concludes our commentary of the Premier League fixture between Brighton and Tottenham, we hope you’ve enjoyed it!

FULL-TIME: BRIGHTON 3-2 TOTTENHAM

Porro hoists a long, hopeful free-kick into the Brighton 18-yard box from a position on the halfway line, but nobody in a Tottenham kit attacks the delivery, allowing Dunk to head it back comfortably to the awaiting Verbruggen.

The fourth official indicates four minutes will be added to the end of the match for stoppages.

Bissouma lumps it forward looking for the run of Solanke but the ball drifts just inside the 18-yard box, which prompts Verbruggen to race off his line to get there first and pick it up - wasting more time in the process.

Kulusevski plays a clever disguised pass forward into a central position for Udogie, who manages to send his low effort through the tangle of legs. Verbruggen somehow manages to see the strike the whole way however, and parries before making a secure grab while on the ground.

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.

Accused of wasting time by the referee, Verbruggen is shown a yellow card with 10 minutes to go in the game.
