Brighton 2-2 Tottenham: Report, result and goals as Spurs fight back to earn deserved point
"The Seagulls struck first after early Spurs pressure when Georginio Rutter picked out Yankuba Minteh, who beat the offside trap and calmly rounded goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to slot home after just eight minutes. VAR confirmed Cristian Romero had kept him onside. Brighton then doubled their lead on the half-hour mark. Yasin Ayari found space on the left-hand edge of the box, opted to shoot from distance, and his low strike crept past Vicario at the far post."
"The second half began with both sides attacking, though Spurs gradually piled on the pressure. Manager Thomas Frank turned to his bench, bringing on Xavi Simons, who quickly made an impact with several dangerous efforts and incisive passes. One curling shot whistled narrowly wide of the far post. With under 10 minutes left, Spurs found their equaliser. Kudus once again did the damage, cutting onto his left foot and delivering a teasing cross."
Brighton took an early lead when Yankuba Minteh finished after Georginio Rutter's pass, confirmed onside by VAR, and Yasin Ayari extended the advantage with a long-range low strike. Tottenham pulled one back before half-time after a Brighton midfield error led to a Rodrigo Bentancur–Mohammed Kudus–Wilson Odobert build-up finished by Richarlison. Spurs dominated possession (63%) and held a higher xG (0.97 to 0.86). In the second half Tottenham pressed, Xavi Simons created chances from the bench, and Kudus delivered a cross that deflected off Jan Paul van Hecke to level the game at 2-2, with a late Kudus effort narrowly over.
