 | Brighton shocked Tottenham for their first success at home in 225 days1-02-2021 |
Brighton`s team came as a surprise in the 21st round of the Premier League after beating Tottenham 1-0 at home. This was the first home success for the Seagulls in 225 days, when they last beat Arsenal in June 2020. Thus, Brighton collected 21 points and is now 17th in the standings, while the `spurs` are sixth with 33, after suffering a second consecutive loss after 1:3 against the champion Liverpool. Tottenham played a mediocre match without their injured captain and leader Harry Kane and deservedly left the coastal southern city. Gareth Bale started for the second time this season as a starter for Tottenham, but was completely impersonal and failed to replace Kane, and in the 61st minute he was replaced. The hosts struck their blow in the 17th minute when they took advantage of an error in the delivery of the ball by the players of manager Jose Mourinho. Brighton organized an attack, the ball landed at the feet of Leandro Trosar in the small penalty area, which left no chance to the goalkeeper of the Londoners Hugo Loris. At the very end of the match, Brighton could have doubled their lead and killed the intrigue in the match, but Toby Alderweireld managed to deflect the ball aimed at the empty goal from Aaron Connelly. Until the end of the match, the `seagulls` kept their lead and thus congratulated themselves on the first home success, which may be a turning point for their season.
