Tottenham vs Brighton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Trossard scores late winner

51 mins: Chance! It’s not how Spurs would have been expecting it to happen but they get a the first chance of the second half when Harry Kane sends a long throw into the penalty area. Son Heung-Min brings the ball down under pressure and turns towards goal. He scuttles back to create space to shoot but Joel Veltman is there to block it and clear for the visitors.

48 mins: Gross links up with Mac Allister to work the ball up the inside right channel and over to Lamptey on the right wing. He carries the ball towards the byline and sees his cross into the box blocked.

Kick off: Graham Potter does make a change at half-time and Danny Welbeck comes on to replace Enock Mwepu. Spurs get the game back underway.

When Antonio Conte took over at Tottenham just five short months ago, the despondency from Spurs fans was at its lowest ebb since Juande Ramos’ final hours back in 2008.

Five defeats, nine goals scored and 15 conceded in just ten Premier League matches was not pleasing reading for the swiftly sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Portuguese coach was shown the exit door in double quick time not only because of the results but the manner of the displays. It was dull, restrained, reactionary football which only yielded more than one league goal on two occasions.

There aren’t many highlights from that first half but it will be interesting to see if Enock Mwepu comes back out for Brighton after the break. He was growing in frustration and looked the most likely to see a second yellow card. Will Graham Potter risk going down to 10-men if Mwepu continues to throw himself about?

45+2 mins: Nothing to separate the two teams as they head into the break. Tottenham haven’t been at it, they’re a little sluggish, a little slow and a lacking in creativity.

Brighton have been decent but as is usually the case for Graham Potter’s men they’re lacking the clinical finish in the final third.

45 mins: Two minutes of added time to play at the end of the first half. Mwepu is involved in a bit of argy bargy again and is tredding a fine line with the referee. Graham Potter needs to calm him down at half-time.

42 mins: Enock Mwepu is another lucky man. He’s already on a yellow card and raise his foot high in an attempt to bring an aerial pass under control. He doesn’t spot Ben Davies approaching from behind and the Tottenham defender nips in front of Mwepu to head the ball clear. It’s a high foot from Mwepu but the referee awards a free kick to Spurs and keeps the cards in his pocket.

39 mins: Chance! A simple long ball is won inside Brighton’s box by Harry Kane who heads it over to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Hojbjerg returns the ball after Kane rolls away from his marker but his shot gets closed down quickyl by Robert Sanchez. Good goalkeeping.

36 mins: Brighton’s build-up has been solid. They’re getting the ball in and around Tottenham’s box pretty regularly but they don’t have many options when the ball comes into the middle. A cross from Pascal Gross comes over to Emerson Royal who has plenty of time and space to chest the ball safely down to Hugo Lloris with no threat from the Brighton forwards.
