Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion
It's goalless at the break between Spurs and Brighton. Apart from an early long-range shot from Kane, which was hit well wide, Spurs have struggled to create anything in this game. Brighton looked the more likely to score, with Mwepu having the best chance when his half-volley was blocked by Davies. He also had the only shot on target in the game just before the half-time whistle, but it was straight at Lloris.
