Brennan Johnson, who takes six consecutive games in scoringopened the scoring after a superb through ball from Dominic Solanke. The forward left him in front of Verbruggen, the Brighton goalkeeper, and the Briton scored from underneath to make it six games in a row with a goal. No one has done it at Tottenham since Harry Kane in January 2019.

The arguments of the 0-2 and the play of both sides were enough to think that it was in Tottenham’s pocket, but it was the ‘Spurs’ themselves who shot themselves in the foot in the 48th minute.
