Premier League: Brighton 3-2 Tottenham. (X)
Ange Postecoglou’s men took the lead through Brennan Johnson before doubling their lead through James Maddison. But Brighton turned the game on its head with strikes from Yakubu Minteh, Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck.
Brighton and Hove Albion rallied from two goals down to stun Tottenham Hotspurs 3-2 at the Amex Stadium on Sunday in the Premier League.
Ange Postecoglou’s men took the lead through Brennan Johnson before doubling their advantage through James Maddison. But Brighton turned the game on its head with strikes from Yakubu Minteh, Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck.
Tottenham started with Guglielmo Vicario in goal, with Destiny Udogie, Micky Van de Ven, Christian Romero, and Pedro Porro defending. Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski came into midfield with Timo Werner, Dominic Solanke and Johnson forward.
Fabian Hurzeler closed Bart Verbruggen between the sticks, behind his defensive four of Joel Veltman, Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk and Ferdi Kadioglu. Midfield consisted of Carlos Noom Quomah Baleba, Jack Hinshelwood and Rutter, with Minteh and Kaoru Mitoma on either wing. Welbeck was the only man up front for the hosts.
The visitors took the lead after 25 minutes thanks to Johnson’s shot from Solanke’s assist. It was the sixth time Wales had found the back of the net in their last six games.
Maddison added Spurs’ second on 37 minutes as the Englishman’s shot eluded Verbruggen’s feeble attempt to keep the ball out.
But Minteh reduced the deficit in the 48th minute of the game following a terrific clearance from Udogie to initiate the change.
Rutter went past three Tottenham players to pull his side back on level terms with the visitors as he put the game back in the balance.
Brighton’s conversion was complete when former Manchester United and Arsenal striker Welbeck headed the ball into the back of the net to send the Amex into a state of delirium on 66 minutes.
Tottenham’s third defeat in seven league games raised questions about head coach Postecoglou’s desire to change his attacking philosophy after the defensive frailties of the London unit were exposed.
