Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion
It's worked down Brighton's right again, with Gross fizzing a dangerous low ball in this time. Caicedo is closest to it, but he's sandwiched between Romero and Emerson, with the wing-back doing enough to put it out for a corner.

BLOCK! Spurs break quickly on the counter and Reguilon gets away down the left, pulling it back for Son in the middle. He has time to take a touch before hitting the shot, but there are a lot of bodies between him and the goal, with Dunk making the important block.

The hosts are starting to find their rhythm here and Davies picks out a good pass to Reguilon. His first touch knocks it around Lamptey, but out of play before he can put a cross in.

Spurs win a free-kick on the right and Kulusevski takes it short to Bentancur. A triangle with Son takes it back to the winger, but Brighton are closing them down again and the set-piece is wasted.

Brighton have won just two of their last 23 Premier League games that were 0-0 at half-time (D17 L4), winning at Brentford in September and Liverpool in February 2021.

BLOCK! Kane takes a long throw-in on the left, lifting it over three Brighton defenders to pick out Son. He brings it down with a lovely first touch and hits the shot on the turn, but Dunk throws himself in front of it.

Brighton have picked up where they left off, and Spurs can't get out of their own half. Lamptey is fed in down the right, and he has three to aim for in the middle, but his pullback is blocked by Davies.

Trossard curls a lovely cross into Welbeck but he can't get away from Dier, who is tight to his back. Caicedo comes across to help him out, but he's judged to have fouled the defender in the process, and Spurs have a free-kick.

Spurs get us back underway for the second half!

Conte was a frustrated figure on the sidelines for much of the first half, and he won't be happy with what he's seen. Spurs have looked out of ideas, and he'll want a much better performance after the break. Brighton looked a threat when they've gone forward, and Potter will be hoping for more of the same in the second half.
