Final score: Tottenham 2-2 Brighton<\/p>\n
90+9 mins: The referee doesn\u2019t allow any extra time for the goal, and it thus runs out for Spurs.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+8 mins: They get a chance, too! The throw is actually taken shortish, worked right, changes hands a couple of times, worked back into the middle, and then there\u2019s nearly a shooting chance for Bergvall, nearly one for Simons, and eventually an actual one for Gray, whose low effort is underpowered and easily saved.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+7 mins: One minute to play, plus perhaps a bonus minute or two to account for the goal celebrations. Spurs have an attacking throw-in, and are going to fling it into the box.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+6 mins: Inevitably it starts with Minteh. His low cross is intercepted by Danso but he inexplicably lingers on the ball and loses it. Just get rid for the sake of Peter! You can\u2019t score from Row Z, etc! Anyway, it\u2019s pulled back to Rutter, who lashes it into the net from the edge of the area!<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL!

Photograph: Matthew Childs\/Action Images\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a014.29 EDT<\/p>\n 90+4 mins: Big miss! Minteh\u2019s cross is flicked on at the near post and it drops to Kadioglu, whose sidefoot volley from beyond the far post is, well, not as good as Mitoma\u2019s was. Goal kick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+3 mins: It\u2019s all Brighton. Can Spurs cling on?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 mins: Another Minteh cross to the far post. This one gives Kadioglu a chance to head it back into a crowded six-yard box, but his header is slow, loopy and easily dealt with.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 mins: Into stoppage time, and there\u2019ll be eight minutes of it. At least!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 89 mins: Minteh crosses from the left to the far post, where neither Wieffer nor Kadioglu is marked but they contrive to tackle each other.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 87 mins: Simons is cramping up again. He\u2019s still not able to go off, so instead the physios come on. The downside of which is it\u2019ll mean the match goes on longer.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 86 mins: Two crosses in quick succession from Minteh, one excellently cleared by Porro, the other going out of play.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 84 mins: Now Xavi Simons is down, apparently with cramp. Teammates signal for a substitution but Spurs have none left.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 84 mins: Brighton swing the ball in from the left and Kostoulas, in trying to volley it, volleys Kinsky. Free kick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 82 mins: Lovely slow-motion replay of the second Spurs goal, Verbruggen getting absolutely nowhere near it and the ball clipping the inside of the post on its way in. Unimprovable, really, which is not a word that\u2019s been used of Spurs many times this season.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 80 mins: Now Spurs have a corner. Roars from the crowd. It\u2019s the hope that kills you, etc.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 77 mins: Verbruggen rolls the ball out to Van Hecke but he isn\u2019t given the chance to play it out \u2013 Bergvall nicks the ball from him, it goes to Simons, and he curls a beauty into the far corner from 20 yards!<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Tottenham 2-1 Brighton (Simons, 77 mins)<\/p>\n Another of those moments of quality from Xavi Simons, and Spurs lead again!<\/p>\n Xavi Simons with a sweet strike to give Spurs the lead!

Photograph: Tom Jenkins\/The GuardianShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a014.27 EDT<\/p>\n 76 mins: Now Spurs bring Spence on for Udogie, and Bergvall for Gallagher.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 75 mins: Mitoma has to go off so two substitutions become three: Welbeck, Hinshelwood and Mitoma go off, O\u2019Riley, Rutter and De Cuyper are on.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 75 mins: Brighton want to make a couple of substitutions but can\u2019t, because Mitoma is receiving treatment.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 73 mins: A good pass to Tel, who chooses to pass to Gallagher rather than have a pop. Gallagher then runs through the penalty area, presumably in the hope of being fouled, before falling as the ball runs out of play.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 71 mins: Good work from Kinsky, who in the fraction of a second between the ball being stabbed away from Welbeck and it rolling to him realised it might be construed as a back-pass, stuck out a leg and then hacked it to safety.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 68 mins: And Palhinha\u2019s already nearly scored! Simons\u2019 shot deflects out to him, and his shot deflects on its way towards goal but not with enough power to take it beyond Verbruggen.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 68 mins: Bentancur is off and Palhinha is on, surely a planned substitution with Bentancur making his first appearance since early January.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 67 mins: Welbeck eventually has a shot from the free-kick, but it goes into the wall.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 65 mins: Danso is booked for deliberately blocking Mitoma\u2019s run as he tried to run onto Welbeck\u2019s first-time pass, and Brighton have a free-kick inches outside the box.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 64 mins: Brighton have dominated these 19 post-halftimely minutes, but Tottenham\u2019s defence is yet to cave.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 62 mins: Spurs have played their way out of defence with something that looks surprisingly like competence. They do it again, but the referee harshly decides Udogie used his elbow on Ayari and brings play back.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 61 mins: Pascal Gross with a backheel flick volley from a throw-in that achieves precisely nothing but surely deserves its own entry.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 58 mins: Brighton play the ball gradually back to the keeper, as Gallagher races around in search of the ball. He eventually throws a foot at it as Verbruggen clears and the ball smacks into him \u2013 but rebounds wide of goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 57 mins: Spurs make those substitutions, with Bissouma and Kolo Muani going off.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 56 mins: Gallagher sees Gross\u2019s leg swinging towards him and throws himself to the ground inside the area. But Gross pulled out of the challenge, there was no contact, and Gallagher gets up apologetically.<\/p>\n Con-or Gallagher goes looking for a penalty. Photograph: Dylan Martinez\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.55 EDT<\/p>\n 55 mins: Spurs ready a couple of substitutions, with Gray and Tel the chosen ones.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 53 mins: A booking for Roberto De Zerbi, who has been repeatedly leaving his technical area and that\u2019s not nice.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 52 mins: Some decent work on the Spurs right, but it ends with a poor cross.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 50 mins: Now Minteh nearly sets up a chance by not touching the ball, his dummy eventually enabling a couple of shots, both of which hit defenders rather than net.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 48 mins: Nearly a Brighton second! Udogie completely messes up as he tries to shepherd the ball somewhere or other under pressure from Minteh. Minteh steals the ball off him and pokes it across goal, and Danso gets there just ahead of Welbeck.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 46 mins: Peeeeep! The players are back out and play is back on.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Well. Towards the end of a low-quality, high-paced half we get three moments of great incision and skill and two goals, so nearly three. Throw in Spurs hitting their own post, which had it gone in would have been far more in keeping, and it doesn\u2019t feel so bad at all. \u201cWhatever they put in the pasta in that restaurant De Zerbi took his players to midweek seems to have put some pep in their step,\u201d writes Justin Kavanagh. \u201cBut it\u2019s Spurs lads, so the second have should tell us how many of them overindulged on the desserts.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Half time: Tottenham 1-1 Brighton<\/p>\n 45+6 mins: Brighton send the ball in from the left this time, Hinshelwood heads not far wide, and the referee blows his whistle.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45+4 mins: Pascal Gross picks out Mitoma, lingering unnoticed beyond the far post, with a cross from the right, and he sidefoots it irresistibly into the roof of the net!<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Brighton (Mitoma, 45+3 mins)<\/p>\n Can Spurs make it to the break with their lead intact? Um, no.<\/p>\n Kaoru Mitoma restores parity with a thumping volley!

Photograph: Alex Pantling\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.26 EDT<\/p>\n 45+1 mins: Into stoppage time, and because of that Gomez injury there\u2019ll be five minutes of it.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 43 mins: Two moments of absolute quality from Xavi Simons in the space of two minutes, and if only he\u2019d managed a third moment of absolute quality Spurs would have been two up.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 42 mins: Simons checks inside Kadioglu really nicely there to completely perplex the Brighton defender and leave himself a clear shot on goal from not far out, and he calmly sidefoots against the foot of the post. It bounces out perfectly into the path of Porro who absolutely lashes it goalwards, but Verbruggen fingertips it to safety!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 41 mins: Simons hits the post when he should score! And then Verbruggen savesd brilliantly from Porro!<\/p>\n
