Spurs v Brighton Previous Fixture

Spurs 2 – 1 Brighton (8^th April 2023)

Spurs’ most recent match against Brighton & Hove Albion was in April 2023 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Ahead of the match, Tottenham were in 5^th place with 50 points and were in the race for Champions League Football, with just 3 points separating themselves and Manchester United and Newcastle United, who occupied 4^th and 3^rd, respectively. The Lilywhites were also 4 and 6 points ahead of Brighton (6^th) and Aston Villa (7^th), respectively.

Tottenham drew 1-1 with Everton in their most recent match at Goodison Park ahead of the Lilywhite’s clash with the Seagulls. Harry Kane scored from the spot for Spurs to give his team the lead (68’) before a spectacular late goal from central defender Michael Keane claimed a valuable point for the Toffees just moments before the final whistle (90’).

Meanwhile, the high-flying Seagulls were in 6^th place with 46 points. Roberto De Zerbi’s side certainly had aspirations of qualifying for European Football, and their performances in the season to that point meant that they had a strong possibility of doing just that.

The game itself got off to an excellent start for Tottenham, who took the lead with ten minutes gone through Heung-Min Son, who found the top right corner of the net in spectacular fashion from outside the penalty area (10’).

Alexis Mac Allister had two chances in almost as many minutes just after 20 minutes, with both shots being well saved. Moises Caicedo also forced a spectacular save from Hugo Lloris (26’).

Unfortunately for Spurs, Brighton found an equaliser late in the first half when club captain Lewis Dunk powered home a header from close range following a Solly March corner (34’).

Danny Welbeck looked to have given De Zerbi’s side the lead early on in the second half, only for VAR to rule the goal out (56’).

Two chances came in just two minutes for Spurs to re-take the lead with less than half an hour remaining. Harry Kane’s shot went over the bar (64’), and Dejan Kulusevski’s effort went narrowly wide of the post (65’).

Eventually, Spurs did manage to take a 2-1 lead. Unsurprisingly, the goal scorer was Harry Kane, who found the bottom left corner from close range after receiving the ball from Danish international Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (79’).

Brighton did have a couple of late chances through Alexis Mac Allister (90+6’) and Kaoru Mitoma (90+7’), but they both missed the target meaning that Spurs came away with a 2-1 win.

Brighton did have more of the ball with 64.8% compared to Tottenham’s 35.2%. De Zerbi’s Seagulls also had more shots on target with 4 compared to the Lilywhites’ 3.

Following this match, Spurs remained in 5^th, and the gap between themselves and top four remained at 3 points.
