The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.
Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.
Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Spurs come from behind, with Johnson scoring late in stoppage-time to snatch a 2-1 win over Brighton. The visitors made a bright start to the game, and Gross gave them the lead from the penalty spot, firing it confidently past Vicario. Spurs came to life after that, though they couldn't find a goal in the first half. It took until just after the hour-mark for Spurs' pressure to finally pay off, as Sarr latched onto the rebound from his own blocked shot and fired in from a tight angle to level things up. Both teams pushed for a winner, but it was Spurs who managed to find it with a quick break in the 96th minute as Johnson fired Son's low cross into the roof of the net to seal the three points. It's a win that lifts Spurs into fourth for now, with Villa not playing until tomorrow, and they host Wolves next time out. Brighton stay in eighth and will be looking to bounce back with their trip to Sheffield United next weekend. That's all for today, goodbye!

Goal Brennan Price Johnson

It's a sloppy pass out from the back by Dunk as he gives it straight to Porro, who swings another good delivery into the box. Maddison is the only one in there for Spurs, but Veltman reaches it first to nod it back to Steele.

Spurs are moving it too slowly and Hojberg has his pocket picked. Brighton can't get it through midfield though, and Gross' attempt to slide it down the left for Mitoma is cut out by Porro.

Lamptey sees a shot blocked before going down, and the physio is waved onto the pitch. He's quickly back to his feet without needing any real treatment though, and Spurs aren't happy as they think he's time-wasting.
