Overview

  • Yankuba Minteh and Yasin Ayari put Brighton two up before Richarlison scored on the stroke of half-time and an 82nd-minute Jan Paul van Hecke own goal made it 2-2.
  • Substitute Xavi Simons added creativity and threat after the interval, forcing chances as Bart Verbruggen kept Brighton level.
  • Mohammed Kudus was central to Tottenham’s attack and delivered the cross that led to the equaliser.
  • Thomas Frank praised his team’s mentality and called it their most complete performance to date, though errors at the back remained a concern.
