Tottenham head to the south coast to face Brighton in desperate need of a positive result following three straight defeats.

Mauricio Pochettino has been reaching for the positives this week but knows only points will silence those questioning his methods.

For Brighton this is something of a free hit and after beating Manchester United at home last month, Chris Hughton will be hopeful his side can repeat the trick.

45 mins: Brighton 0 - 1 Spurs

Half time at the Amex Stadium, it's been a poor first half, Brighton have been content to defend and Tottenham haven't been able to break them down. 

Only a trailing arm from Murray and a Harry Kane spot kick has been the difference between the two teams.

Oh no! Knockaert makes a great run into the box and a beautiful pass intercepts the defence and falls to Knockaert, he's one on one with Gazzaniga and the keeper saves it. He should have scored and Brighton should be level
