Tottenham vs Brighton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Trossard scores late winner
Tottenham 0-1 Brighton: Follow all the reaction as Spurs slip to a damaging late loss at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur blew a chance to strengthen their grip on fourth place in the Premier League as they suffered a dramatic, late 1-0 home defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion.
Antonio Conte’s side produced a lacklustre display and looked set for a frustrating stalemate before Leandro Trossard made things even worse with a 90th-minute winner.
After four successive wins, the pre-match mood in north London was one of optimism but Tottenham’s performance was in stark contrast to the bright spring sunshine. They managed only one goal attempt in a dismal first half in which Brighton were by far the better side.
Spurs showed a little more urgency after the break with Son Heung-min twice having shots blocked, but the Seagulls always carried the greater goal threat and deservedly took the points when Trossard cut in from the left and beat Hugo Lloris with a low angled shot with the outside of his foot.
