Brighton v Tottenham LIVE: Result and reaction after hosts complete crazy comeback to beat Spurs

Brighton completed a remarkable comeback victory over Tottenham to continue their unbeaten home start to the Premier League season.

Fabian Hurzeler’s hosts had appeared bound for defeat after Spurs seized control of the contest with two first-half goals, but roared back after the interval to strike thrice in 20 minutes and swing the game their way. Danny Welbeck headed home to complete the turnaround after Yankuba Minteh and Georginio Rutter had restored Brighton to level pegging. It had threatened to be another tough day for Hurzeler’s side after yet more defensive lapses allowed Brennan Johnson and James Maddison to pounce, but a stirring turnaround lifts them above their opponents and into the top six.

Johnson’s goal meant the Welshman had scored in six successive games but Ange Postecoglou sorely missed absent captain Son Heung-min as his side collapsed. The Australian will have plenty to chew over during the international break as he looks to restore order.

Brighton produce captivating comeback to end Tottenham’s winning run

19:07 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Brighton scored three times in 18 second-half minutes to fight back from two goals down to stun Tottenham and claim a 3-2 win after an entertaining encounter at Amex Stadium.

Spurs were on course for a sixth consecutive victory in all competitions when Brennan Johnson and James Maddison struck before half-time to put Ange Postecoglou’s men in control.

That made it six goals in six matches for Johnson, but Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler introduced Pervis Estupinan at the break and the Seagulls were transformed with Yankuba Minteh able to reduce the deficit in the 48th minute.

The impressive Georginio Rutter levelled 10 minutes later with a fine finish before ex-Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck completed the comeback when he headed home what proved the winner after 66 minutes.

Fabian Hurzeler reveals key change at half time

18:49 , Harry Latham-Coyle

“I think in the first half, it was not a tactical thing, it was more about playing with intensity and fulfilling the plan with energy,” Hurzeler explains. “We tried to get that back at half time - the players showed a great reaction and played amazingly in the second half.

“A little bit of intensity was missing, we weren’t ruthless. If you win those personal duels, you gain confidence, and that really changed. We won more balls. Most of the time we controlled the transitions, and we have enough quality in possession to score. Not everything was bad in the first half, even if it seemed bad.”

Danny Welbeck speaks to Sky Sports after capping a crazy comeback

18:42 , Harry Latham-Coyle

“It’s obviously amazing. In the first half, we were bitterly disappointed and frustrated. The performance we put in was embarrassing, and it was nothing that we want to be part of. We showed our character. Our attitude was right in the second half, we came out fighting and got the three points.

“I’ve been getting a few more opportunities. There was an opportunity in the first half that I should have done better with, but I kept going. At half time, you’ve got to give credit to some of the senior boys in the dressing room who weren’t even on the pitch - Jason Steele and James Milner basically told us that the bare minimum is to fight and compete. Everyone is together in this. We want to be challenging the establishment and we know we’ve got the quality to do it.”

FT: Brighton 3-2 Tottenham

18:28 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Remarkable. Brighton were nowhere at half time, on their way out of the game as Tottenham seized control with James Maddison’s goal just before the interval. What followed was bonkers, a brilliant 20 minute turnaround in which Spurs capitulated and Brighton seized their moment quite magnificently. Tough questions for Ange Postecoglou - and another real statement victory for Fabian Hurzeler in his young Premier League managerial career.

FULL TIME: Brighton 3-2 Tottenham

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 90 + 4 minutes

18:24 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Cristian Romero’s forward pass is slightly more purposeful but still bending out of the path of Brennan Johnson. That might be that...

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 90 + 3 minutes

18:23 , Harry Latham-Coyle

An aimless lump forward from Spurs does Brighton no harm, though.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 90 + 1 minutes

18:22 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A great chance for a fourth! Brighton break at speed through Julio Enciso and Brajan Gruda, and there are teammates queueing up on the right as the pair dilly-dally. Tottenham eventually squeeze them out, prompting a frustrated slap of the air from an unused Danny Welbeck.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 90 minutes

18:21 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Four minutes for Brighton to survive having orchestrated a crazy comeback.

Joel Veltman almost immediately concedes a corner with Mikey Moore lurking.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 89 minutes

18:20 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Into the final 60 seconds of regulation time with Spurs showing few signs of swinging this back their way. Dominic Solanke can’t get to a Pape Matar Sarr cross that always looked ambitious.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 87 minutes

18:17 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Now it’s Minteh’s turn to traipse off, Brajan Gruda replacing him and making a debut after an injury-disrupted start to life at Brighton.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 85 minutes

18:16 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Yankuba Minteh’s wild strike allows Tottenham to make that alteration: exit James Maddison, enter 17-year-old Mikey Moore.

Who is Mikey Moore? Tottenham starlet impresses Ange Postecoglou after full debut

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 83 minutes

18:14 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A firm hand! Destiny Udogie tugs a shot back across Bart Verbruggen, who has learned from him limp wrist for James Maddison’s goal earlier and ensures he plants a strong palm in the way.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 82 minutes

18:13 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Danny Welbeck hadn’t scored against Tottenham in the Premier League since 2014, by the way.

Young Mikey Moore looks to be Ange Postecoglou’s next change.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 80 minutes

18:11 , Harry Latham-Coyle

An excellent sliding tackle from Cristian Romero prevents Julio Enciso advancing along the byline, his challenge taking a piece of Enciso’s shin on its way out of play to ensure it will be a goal kick. But that’s not the box in which Tottenham want to be doing their best work in these final ten minutes.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 79 minutes

18:09 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Ange Postecoglou seeks stability - enter Pape Matar Sarr and, at his old home, Yves Bissouma. Rodrigo Bentancur and Timo Werner make a wounded trudge off.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 78 minutes

18:09 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Pedro Porro rattles a shot into the chest of Igor, standing tall on the edge of the Brighton box. James Maddison then slices an effort well wide of goal, to the home fans’ delight.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 76 minutes

18:06 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Ange Postecoglou appears to be considering a double switch of his own. Tottenham need to restore some degree of control to their game.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 74 minutes

18:04 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Two Brighton changes: Georginio Rutter and Carlos Baleba are replaced by Julio Enciso and Mats Wieffer.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 72 minutes

18:03 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Timo Werner tries to thrust his side back into it but his drive from distance is always rising. Bart Verbruggen watches it over his head.

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 70 minutes

18:02 , Harry Latham-Coyle

How Tottenham must be missing Heung-min Son in a moment like this. They’ve looked a little short of leadership in this second half. What’s Ange Postecoglou’s option at this juncture? Look to the youngsters who went so well against Ferencvaros?

Brighton 3-2 Tottenham, 69 minutes

18:00 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Tottenham have lost any semblance of calm and composure. Two players are booked in quick succession, with Dejan Kulusevski forced to chop down Kaoru Mitoma like a covering flanker. What a remarkable turnaround!

GOAL! BRIGHTON 3-2 Tottenham (Danny Welbeck, 66 minutes)

17:56 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Can you believe it? Brighton have roared back to lead 3-2!

Three goals in 20 second-half minutes and the Amex Stadium is rocking! Georginio Rutter somehow contorts his way past four Spurs defenders to fashion a cross, and Danny Welbeck has the freedom of the Tottenham penalty area to head home. Away he gambols in glee as the frown spreads further to the fringes of a furious Ange Postecoglou’s face.

Brighton 2-2 Tottenham, 65 minutes

17:55 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Brighton have come from two behind to win just once in their last 79 times facing a two-goal deficit. They look the likelier victors at the moment.

Brighton 2-2 Tottenham, 62 minutes

17:53 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Yankuba Minteh now draws a corner and urges the home crowd to lift the noise. They duly oblige as he wanders over to take.

His delivery is disappointingly deep, allowing Spurs a moment to settle.

Brighton 2-2 Tottenham, 60 minutes

17:52 , Harry Latham-Coyle

How the complexion of this contest has changed. Tottenham looked to be cruising at the interval, but they’ve been off the pace since the resumption with Ange Postecoglou grumbling and grunting his disapproval on the touchline.

They almost concede another chance to Kaoru Mitoma, with the crowd properly into this now.

GOAL! BRIGHTON 2-2 Tottenham (Georginio Rutter, 58 minutes)

17:48 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Brighton are level!

What a start to the second half! It’s lovely feet from Georginio Rutter, nimbly skipping between Destiny Udogie and Micky van de Ven to create enough room to drag a shot across Guglielmo Vicario and into the corner.

Brighton 1-2 Tottenham, 54 minutes

17:44 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Joel Veltman hurts himself as he makes an unorthodox tackle on Destiny Udogie, using his hipbone to dislodge the Tottenham defender from the ball. It looks a slightly sore one for the Dutchman, who levers himself to his feet and will run it off.

Brighton 1-2 Tottenham, 51 minutes

17:43 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Spurs just need to settle into this second half, the visitors having been slow off the mark after the interval. Having started the game so superbly, a theme of their season, that was a bit of a surprise.

GOAL! BRIGHTON 1-2 Tottenham (Yankuba Minteh, 48 minutes)

17:38 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Just what Brighton needed!

A horrible error from Destiny Udogie and Yankuba Minteh pounces! A cross from the left from Kaoru Mitoma bounces at an awkward height for Udogie, who only succeeds in squeezing the ball between his inner thighs as he tries to clear. Minteh pounces and produces a simple finish - Brighton have life!

Second half...

17:36 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A half-time switch from Brighton, Pervis Estupinan on for Ferdi Kadioglu to add some more attacking ideas from left-back.

We’ve resumed in the evening gloom in Falmer.

HT: Brighton 0-2 Tottenham

17:21 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Another pleasing half for Ange Postecoglou, his side having created the better openings of a predictably fun and funky affair. Spurs flew out of the blocks and should, really, have taken one of three opportunities inside the first five minutes, but they could rely on Brennan Johnson to put them ahead as he continued his fine scoring run. Brighton settled and began to threaten but James Maddison’s goal ensures the visitors head down the tunnel much the happier of the two sides.

HALF TIME: Brighton 0-2 Tottenham

17:19 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Brighton 0-2 Tottenham, 45 + 1 minutes

17:18 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Into three additional minutes. Kaoru Mitoma has looked Brighton’s biggest threat so far and again gets by Pedro Porro, but Tottenham have sufficient coverage to prevent further danger developing.

Brighton 0-2 Tottenham, 43 minutes

17:16 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Brennan Johnson breaks beyond the left side of Brighton’s back four, and given his recent form, it’s a surprise that he blazes over the bar from a promising position. It’s amazing what a bit of confidence can do, though - Johnson looked headed for the periphery before this scoring run began but now appears an ever more integral part of this Spurs side.

Brighton 0-2 Tottenham, 40 minutes

17:13 , Harry Latham-Coyle

It has just felt a little too easy for Tottenham to create opportunities in this first half, Brighton again too loose at the back after their struggles against Chelsea last weekend. Fabian Hurzeler looks frustrated on the touchline.

GOAL! Brighton 0-2 TOTTENHAM (James Maddison, 38 minutes)

17:09 , Harry Latham-Coyle

But Tottenham have their second!

Bart Verbruggen won’t want to watch this one again. Timo Werner rolls the ball across the edge of the box to James Maddison, left vacant in just the space he’d like to be with Brighton dragged out of shape. His shot is nothing particularly bothersome, neither with the oomph or precision one would normally require to beat a goalkeeper from that distance.

But a skiddy surface perhaps plays in his favour, the ball skipping beneath Verbruggen’s extending left arm and into the bottom corner.

Brighton 0-1 Tottenham, 36 minutes

17:08 , Harry Latham-Coyle

The momentum has swung since that Tottenham opener, Brighton’s fans (and players) lifting the volume. Jack Hinselwood’s forward foray allows the midfielder to latch on to Kaoru Mitoma’s latest inswinger from the left, but he doesn’t generate sufficient purchase on his header to hit the target.

Brighton 0-1 Tottenham, 33 minutes

17:06 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Brighton’s best spell of the match continues, Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh putting Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie in trouble in turn. A corner looks dangerously placed, too, but a Brighton contestant is deemed to have fouled a visiting counterpart before he can line up his header.

Brighton 0-1 Tottenham, 31 minutes

17:03 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A poor miss from Danny Welbeck! An anguished look to the heavens from the veteran striker, found deftly by a bendy outside-of-the-boot cross from Kaoru Mitoma but unable to divert it goalwards.

Brighton 0-1 Tottenham, 27 minutes

17:01 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A clash between James Maddison and Joel Veltman sees neither emerge with credit. The Tottenham midfielder is first a little theatrical in his tumble under pressure from the Brighton defender, but he’s then thoroughly outdone by the Dutchman in the thespian stakes as Veltman falls to floor after a brush of arms. The referee gives both of them short shrift.

GOAL! Brighton 0-1 TOTTENHAM (Brennan Johnson, 24 minutes)

16:55 , Harry Latham-Coyle

That one will count! He just can’t stop scoring!

Six games in a row with a goal for Brennan Johnson! Brighton give the ball away in midfield and Dominic Solanke can survey an inviting defensive shape, plenty of space through which to thread a pass. The weight is perfect for Johnson to scuttle on to, and there’s little doubt that the in-form Welshman is going to beat Bart Verbruggen.

OFFSIDE! Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 22 minutes

16:54 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Tottenham think they’ve opened the scoring but Pedro Porro is offside in the build-up! A double ricochet from Timo Werner’s header results in the ball creeping across the line via James Maddison’s body, but Porro had just gone too soon earlier in the movement.

Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 20 minutes

16:52 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A very useful foot from Lewis Dunk, using all of lank to nip in ahead of Dominic Solanke with only him between the Tottenham striker and Bart Vebruggen.

Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 18 minutes

16:49 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Timo Werner waltzes past Joel Veltman, but can’t pick out a colleague with his cut-back.

Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 16 minutes

16:48 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Yankuba Minteh is pretty nippy, too, though can’t manouevre around the rather larger Van de Ven, using his bulk wisely to prevent an out-and-out footrace. The game is just settling a little after the high-tempo opening.

Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 14 minutes

16:47 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Perhaps wisely, Georginio Rutter throws Micky van de Ven off the rails before the flying Dutchman can chug out of the station. He’s whistled for a foul but we saw last week what the defender can do if he builds up a head of steam.

Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 11 minutes

16:43 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Tottenham’s defensive line is high, pushing up beyond halfway - and Kaoru Mitoma should, therefore, not be standing offside as Georgino Rutter attempts to free him with a forward pass.

Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 10 minutes

16:42 , Harry Latham-Coyle

That might not have been the worst pause for Brighton, however damaging losing a key defender may prove. Tottenham are slightly scratchy after the delay, with Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur nearly contriving to gift a chance the hosts’ way.

Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 9 minutes

16:40 , Harry Latham-Coyle

It’s not been a good day for Premier League central defenders. Aston Villa lost Ezri Konsa earlier, Manchester United Harry Maguire, and now Adam Webster is being led off inside nine minutes. A grimace as he crosses the threshold - Igor is his replacement.

Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 7 minutes

16:39 , Harry Latham-Coyle

A worry now for Adam Webster, hand immediately grasping down to a twinging hamstring. This doesn’t look particularly promising for the centre-half.

Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 4 minutes

16:37 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Another vital block! A gorgeous lifted pass from Cristian Romero finds James Maddison, who had timed his run superbly. Maddison takes it nearly but waits and waits before firing on goal, allowing Adam Webster to slide back in the nick of time.

Three chances inside five minutes for Spurs.

Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 3 minutes

16:34 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Crikey, this is a lively start form the visitors. Dejan Kulusevski jinks and jives by Lewis Dunk, who makes a strong recovery to jut out a blocking boot as the Tottenham trickster releases his shot.

Brighton 0-0 Tottenham, 1 minute

16:33 , Harry Latham-Coyle

So nearly an opener inside a minute! Spurs take a page out of Brentford’s book and break Brighton open instantly, Timo Werner streaking up the left with Brennan Johnson an equally rapid individual riding in the sidecar. The German squares across the box but it is too far in front of the sliding Welshman - a real missed opportunity!

KICK OFF!

All four of Tottenham’s teenage starlets are on the bench today, should Ange Postecoglou need to look to youth a little later.

Ahead of kick off, a moment of applause in memory of the late Barry Lloyd, the former Brighton manager and chief scout who passed away last weekend.

16:25 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Kick off rapidly approaching in Falmer, a rather dreary afternoon likely to be enlivened by two sides who favour something jaunty. Aston Villa and Manchester United didn’t exactly captivate earlier - you’d imagine this could be rather more thrilling.

Ange Postecoglou speaks to Sky Sports ahead of kick off

16:18 , Harry Latham-Coyle

“We don’t keep it controlled. Let’s keep it open, that way we entertain everyone and hopefully get a result. We certainly want to play an expansive game and be positive, and Brighton like to do the same thing. It should be a good game.

“It’s not like it is a carbon copy, there are differences in the details. For us, it’s about playing our football and trying to dominate the game in the areas we want to.”

Ange Postecoglou praises Tottenham’s four ‘outstanding’ teenagers after Europa League win

16:00 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Ange Postecoglou saluted his four teenage starters after they helped Tottenham to a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Ferencvaros in the Europa League, but is not ready to dub them ‘Ange’s Angels’ yet.

Four players aged 19 or under were named in the Spurs line-up in Budapest with full debuts handed to academy graduates Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear, but the duo brushed off their inexperience to combine to set up Pape Sarr’s 23rd-minute opener.

Sarr scored amid a ferocious white-hot atmosphere at Groupama Arena and while Ferencvaros pushed the visitors, Tottenham substitute Brennan Johnson wrapped up the points with a smart finish in the 86th-minute to score for a fifth consecutive game.

Brighton need a ‘reaction’ after Chelsea chaos

15:50 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler admits he must learn the lessons of his side’s first loss of the season and expects a “reaction” against Tottenham on Sunday.

A chaotic first half against Chelsea last weekend saw Brighton score twice but concede four times on their way to a 4-2 defeat, with England international Cole Palmer scoring all four for the home side at Stamford Bridge.

Hurzeler was pleased with some aspects of the performance, but is well aware that defensive improvements are required despite potentially remaining without the services of Jan Paul van Hecke until the end of November.

“I think it’s very important after a defeat that you are honest with yourself, that you reflect yourself on what was good, what was not good in this game and if you lose a game of course there are more negative points,” Hurzeler said.

“We analysed these negative points, we discussed with the team about that.

“We’re trying to find solutions, we’re trying to show a reaction as a team on Sunday but again there were also some positive things, especially in possession.

“Chelsea scored four goals, I think we also had chances to score four goals so in the end we have to learn from it.

“I have to learn from it because I was responsible for the match plan and the match plan was not good enough. Now we try to show a reaction.”

Fabian Hurzeler outlines ‘big challenge’ of containing Dominic Solanke

15:40 , Harry Latham-Coyle

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler believes his side face a “big challenge” to contain Dominic Solanke as they look to bounce back from last week’s defeat to Chelsea.

Solanke was called up to the England squad on Thursday by interim boss Lee Carsley after scoring in three successive games for new club Tottenham.

The 27-year-old has not played for his country since featuring against Brazil in 2017, but was named in Carsley’s 25-man squad for the Nations League games against Greece and Finland.

Having conceded four goals in the first half at Stamford Bridge last week, Hurzeler is well aware of the need to improve his side’s defending against Sunday’s opponents, who make the trip to the Amex Stadium on the back of five straight wins.

“I think he’s a whole package of a good striker,” Hurzeler said of former Bournemouth forward Solanke.

“He is very good in possession. He’s very good in making movements in the opponents’ box. He knows how to get away from an opponent.

“He knows how to move against the opponent when he gets defended in a one against one situation.

“And on top of that he works also hard against the ball. He’s the first attacker for them and he tries to lead the opponent to one side.

“He tries to put pressure on our defenders, and I think it will be a big challenge to stop him.”

Mikey Moore is ready for more opportunities and eager to repay the faith of Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou after he flourished on his full debut against Ferencvaros.

The 17-year-old was one of four teenage starters for Spurs on Thursday but the quartet of Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Will Lankshear helped the visitors grind out a 2-1 victory at Groupama Arena.

Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario will continue to brush off criticism and help Tottenham’s talented young squad stay on the right path as one of the older guys in the group.

Vicario, 27, played his part in Spurs being able to register a fifth consecutive victory on Thursday with a 2-1 win at Ferencvaros in the Europa League.

It continued an upturn in fortunes for Ange Postecoglou’s youthful team, which faced scrutiny when back-to-back Premier League losses was followed by a narrow Carabao Cup triumph at Coventry.
