Steve Mounie has the best chance of the match for Huddersfield at the John Smith's Stadium but Mat Ryan gets down well to deny him.

Huddersfield 1-0 Brighton

Chris Lowe delivers a sumptuous cross into the box from the left wing but Steve Mounie isn't there to get on the end of it.

That would've been a tap-in.

Spurs 1-0 Stoke 

Harry Kane finds himself one-on-one with Jack Butland after Son Heung-min's through ball but the England striker very uncharacteristically puts the ball wide.
