Graham Potter’s team disappointed the Spurs throughout the competition and then Trossard showed some ability in the box to make room to overtake Hugo Lloris and take Brighton’s first win at Tottenham since 1981. The Spurs had scored at least twice in each of their previous seven, but failed to score a single shot in the 90th minute, with Heung-Min Son being sent off by Joel Veltman and Trossard in the second half. No off-field player who completed 90 minutes had less touches than the isolated Harry Kane (27). Antonio Conte’s team had come into the game hoping to win the fifth game in a row and move six points away from Arsenal in fourth place. However, Mikel Arteta’s team lost 1-0 to Southampton and reached sixth place, with Manchester United’s victory over Norwich making them the Spurs’ closest opponent, three points behind.

The tough match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could have been very different if referee Craig Pawson had seen some cases differently in the first half. A Dejan Kulusevski junior was lucky not to connect when he shook his elbow at Marc Cucurella – that would have earned him more than the yellow he received.

Sergio Reguilon won the battle with Ryan Sessegnon to replace the injured Matt Doherty at left-back, the only change for the Spurs from the team that won at Aston Villa. Brighton also made a change, with Tariq Lamptey coming on for Danny Welbeck, who fell on the bench.
But Brighton reached halftime, where they replaced Mwepu, and at the end of another convincing 45 minutes after the break, they found the moment of magic in the last minute through Trossard to beat each other. It’s a reversal from Brighton, who had taken just one point from their previous seven before moving to Arsenal last Saturday, but always looked comfortable against a Spurs-inferior one. Picture: Brighton Joel Weltman and Spurs’ Harry Kane fighting for the ball Weltman tackled Harry Kane early, but Brighton had the best of the opening period, with the Dutch international himself dismissed at the other end after Mwepu’s corner kick was blocked. Rodrigo Bentancur then had to be sharp and prevented Alexis Mac Allister from taking a corner. After a misplaced end of the half, when the focus was on Kulusevski and Mwepu, Son seemed the most likely to overcome the impasse for the hosts, but was rejected twice in the seven minutes before Bentancur shot out.
