Brighton 3-2 Tottenham: Spurs suffer second-half collapse as Brighton stage stunning comeback.
Report and free match highlights as Tottenham suffer a second-half collapse at Brighton to lose 3-2 after going 2-0 up; Brennan Johnson and James Maddison put Spurs in total control; Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck scored in 18 second-half minutes to complete comeback.
Brighton produced a stunning second-half comeback as they scored three goals in 18 minutes to come from 2-0 down to beat Tottenham 3-2 at the Amex Stadium.
Spurs were in total control at half-time thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson, who scored for a sixth straight game, and James Maddison.
But Ange Postecoglou’s side suffered a shocking collapse sparked by Yankuba Minteh’s goal just three minutes into the second half as he pounced on Destiny Udogie’s mistake.
Rocked by the goal, Brighton sensed Spurs’ loss of confidence and found a leveller 10 minutes later through Georginio Rutter’s low finish.
The comeback was then complete in the 66th minute as more poor Spurs defending allowed Danny Welbeck to head home.
