Overview

• Brighton raced ahead through Yankuba Minteh on eight minutes and a Yasin Ayari strike from distance on 31 minutes.
• Guglielmo Vicario was criticised for not stopping Ayari’s effort, which slipped past his hand at the far post.
• Richarlison halved the deficit just before half-time, continuing his productive link with Mohammed Kudus.
• Introduced on 61 minutes, Xavi Simons injected urgency and created chances before Mohammed Kudus’ cross led to Jan Paul van Hecke’s 82nd-minute own goal.
• Tottenham reach 10 points from five matches to sit second, Brighton extend their unbeaten home run, and Spurs’ early defensive solidity faces renewed scrutiny.
