BLOCK! It's a much better delivery from Lamptey, and his cross is glanced on at the near post. Mac Allister nods it back across goal from the far side and Mwepu lets it bounce before hitting the half-volley, but Davies is in the right place to make the block.

Kulusevski takes a heavy touch when he brings the ball down which gives Cucurella the chance to intercept. It's a poor clearance straight to Romero, who tries to pull it back from the byline, but Sanchez sticks out a leg to block it.

Spurs are keeping the pressure on here and Brighton can't get out of their own box. Son finds some space down the left, but his floated cross is blocked by Lamptey.

Bentancur lifts the ball over the top for Kane and he lets it bounce over his shoulder, bringing it down on the half turn. He sets himself for the shot, but Veltman slides in with a perfectly-timed challenge to take it away from him.
