Tottenham Hotspur started their season with a bang under new coach Ange Postecoglou. Despite losing Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, They topped the table but after a string of injuries and suspensions, there was a massive drop in form. From being at the top at Game Week 10, they dropped down to 4th. 

Now they face Brighton and Hove Albion at the AmEx Stadium. Looking to get back into the title race, Spurs aimed for a win. The hosts meanwhile needed to take a step closer to the top 6. With the two teams playing great football, many expected a good game to spectate, but it ended up being a one-sided affair.

Tottenham were completely dominated by the hosts, who slotted four goals past Guglielmo Vicario. The scoring was opened by Josh Hinshewood in the 11th minute. Just 13 minutes later, Dejan Kulusevski pulled Danny Welbeck’s shirt in the box, which didn’t allow him to take a shot. After consulting VAR, a penalty was awarded and Joao Pedro made it 2-0.

Alejo Veliz and Ben Devis scored in the 81st and 85th minute, but Spurs were unable to find the back of the net.
