Our own Jack Pitt-Brooke gives his verdict on the game:
"There is a bit more room now that Spurs are ahead with Brighton starting to push up the pitch. But that conviction and confidence to play the right final pass is still lacking as Spurs push for a second. I do think there will be more goals though because Brighton have no option but to increase the tempo."
