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

It’s been all Tottenham in the opening quarter-hour, dominating the possession and passing statistics, as well as shots and expected goals. The hosts seem happy to let their opponents retain the ball before looking to hit on the counter through the pace of Mitoma and Minteh, but Romero and Van de Ven are no slouches, and are able to keep pace at high speeds quite easily.

Kulusevski pulls a dangerous pass back to the penalty spot for Werner, whose first-time sweep towards goal is denied by Baleba, with the midfielder able to get just enough of his toe to the ball to foil the attack.

Hinshelwood sends a free-kick from a central position to the far post in search of Mitoma, but he fails to give his team-mate a chance to attack the delivery, with Porro easily winning the battle of positioning to clear it away.

Frustration from the Brighton fans, with Rutter looking to switch play quickly out to the right for Mitoma. The Japan international manages to keep the ball in play ahead of the byline but he’s immediately flagged for offside - ending a potentially promising move.

Confirmation of the enforced change just nine minutes into the match, with Julio taking over for Webster - who is unable to carry on.

Play is stopped for Webster, who is receiving medical treatment on the pitch after picking up a knock. The centre-back looks to have been injured after dispatching his pass for Minteh and Hurzeler is taking no chances, instructing Julio to warm up.

Webster goes long down the pitch looking for Minteh after the hosts’ short passing invites the press just outside Verbruggen’s penalty area, but Vicario comes a long way out of his goal to beat the winger to the ball.

Romero clips a perfectly timed volley over the top of the Brighton defence from a position inside the centre-circle, with Maddison staying onside before lashing an acute-angle volley towards goal that’s put behind by a sliding Webster.

Werner again gets the better of Veltman down the left, but his cross towards the near post is easily scooped away by Webster.

Kulusevski sprints the entire length of Brighton’s half down the right wing before cutting inside in trademark style. Dunk manages to match his opponent stride-for-stride and stays with him, putting in a necessary block to turn the effort behind for a corner from 10 yards out.
