Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Lamptey went down a few moments ago, but with Spurs on the attack, he had to get back up. Now, he's gone down again, and after some quick treatment, it looks like his game is over.

CHANCE! Trossard swings another good cross into the box and Romero has to stretch to clear it. He only gets it as far as Lamptey, who clips it to Welbeck, but he sends his header over the bar.

Caicedo is taking a very long walk off the pitch and the Spurs fans and players aren't happy with his time-wasting. When he eventually does go off, Lallana comes on in his place.

GREAT CHANCE! Bissouma's attempted clearance hits Moura before bouncing kindly to Hojbjerg on the feet. Cucurella can't block him, but he squeezes a whipped ball across the face of goal. Kane slides in at the far post, but he can't make contact.

Trossard cuts inside from the left before putting a teasing box onto the penalty spot. Caicedo darts past Davies in front of him and tries to poke it past Lloris, but the keeper just got there first.

Spurs are dropping deeper and deeper in their own half as Brighton continue to push forward. There's not as much urgency from the visitors to get into the box at the moment.

Romero touches the ball back to Lloris under pressure from Bissouma, and the midfielder continues to chase it down. Lloris is let off the hook by a late offside flag though.

Brighton look comfortable on the ball, but their quality is lacking when they get into the final third at the moment. Lamptey skips away from Reguilon but then overhits the square pass to Welbeck and Spurs clear their lines.

Welbeck switches it out to Trossard on the left, and he chooses to square it to Mac Allister on the edge of the D. The space opens up for him, but he blazes his shot over. The effort is applauded by his manager as he urges his side on.
