Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Spurs are still attempting to get themselves out of trouble with long balls over the top, but Brighton are equal to it. Dier looks for Son this time, but it's overhit and the visitors quickly win it back.

It's a great ball over the top from Romero this time, and Son cushions a header down to Kane. He lets it bounce, just giving Cucurella time to get back and take it off his toe.

Brighton's high press is causing all sorts of problems for Spurs and they just can't get out of their own half. Veltman gets too tight to Son, giving away a free-kick, and the hosts have some breathing space.

The frustration of the Spurs fans is starting to show here as the defenders can't get off the edge of their own box with the ball. Bentancur plays a hopeful throughball into the box, but none of his team-mates are anywhere near it.

Brighton are starting to find their rhythm now and they're knocking it around nicely. Caicedo wins a free-kick which Trossard takes long to try and pick out Mwepu's run, but Emerson gets there first to shield it out of play.

It's a wonderful curling corner from Trossard and Veltman glances it on at the near post. Mac Allister makes a late, unmarked run to the far side, and Romero sticks out a leg just in time to deflect it out of the forward's path.

The yellow card is out again here, this time for Kulusevski. Cucurella was tight to his back, and in his frustration, he throws an arm back to try and shake the Spaniard, catching him in the face.
