Tottenham Hotspur entertained Brighton and Hove Albion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this afternoon as they looked to earn a win at home in the Premier League. Spurs made a good start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 10th minute when Heung-min Son found the back of the net. Lewis Dunk equalised for the Seagulls in the 34th minute as the two sides went into the half-time interval with a 1-1 scoreline.
Harry Kane restored Tottenham’s lead in the 79th minute when he got his name on the scoresheet. The contest ended with the North London club securing a narrow 2-1 win in front of their home supporters.

CB: Eric Dier – 6.5/10
