  • 45'
    HT: Tottenham 0-1 Brighton. Webster's goal separates the two sides but it could have been different if Kane's goal had counted. All to play for in the 2nd half. Boos from the Spurs fans.

  • 37'
    First yellow card of the day. Winks is booked for a foul.
  • 36'
    Vertonghen crosses in and Sissoko can't connect well at hits it straight at Ryan. If it went in it would have been ruled out by VAR for offside. I imagine.
  • 35'
    Another free-kick in a similar position. Spurs will be hoping to do better.
  • 32'
    Kane's free-kick hits the wall and goes out for a corner.
  • 31'
    Brun is thus booked.
  • 30'
    Burn fouls Moura at the edge of the box, good chance for Spurs to work the keeper.
  • 28'
    Well there we go folks, another controversial call from VAR, it seems that different leagues use it differently.
  • 27'
    Moura has a shot from outside the box with his left foot that goes well wide.
  • 25'
    Dier plays it over the top to Kane who runs on to it, Ryan rushes out but the Tottenham knocks it past him. INCREDIBLE, Kane is inches offside and VAR rules it out. It was part of his boot that was offside.
  • 24'
    GOOOOOOOAAAAAL SPURS!!!!!!
  • 22'
    Another Brighton chance from just outside the 18-yard box. This time Mooy tries and finds the bottom corner but it goes just past the post, looks like it got a deflection.
  • 13'
    First real shot for Brighton. Alzate has another shot from the edge of the box but Gazzaniga gets down to parry away at his left post.
  • 11'
    Spurs haven't lost at home on Boxing day since 1991, and haven't lost on Boxing day since 2003.
  • 8'
    Vertonghen plays a ball over the defence and finds Sessegnon who is one on one with Ryan. He hits the post but luckily for him he was offside. It would have been a sitter.

    Well done, Jan!!

    Having said that Tottenham haven't lost at home to Brighton since 1981.
  • PRVW
    Brighton won the last match between these sides 3-0 in October when Lloris suffered that horrific injury, but things have changed now. Mourinho is in charge and this is a new Tottenham side.
  • PRVW
    Fun fact for you is that Boxing day 1963 had 66 goals in 10 matches. Will we see that today? Spurs drew their match 4-4 against West Brom.
  • PRVW
    Tottenham aren't so lucky as they were at home to Tottenham on 22nd, at home to Brighton today, away to Norwich on 28th, away to Southampton on 1st and away to Middlesborough on 5th. That is some amount of travelling for Mourinho's men.
  • PRVW
    Madness the number of games that sides have to play in the Premier League over this period. Brighton were at home to Sheffield United on 21st, are away to Tottenham today, are at home to Bournemouth on 28th, at home to Chelsea on the 1st and at home to Sheffield Wednesday on 4th in the FA Cup.
  • PRVW
    Brighton make 5 changes from the side that lost to Sheffield United. Montoya, Dunk, Propper, Trossard and Maupay are replaced by Duffy, Bernardo, Schelotto, Alzate and Connolly.
  • PRVW
    Spurs make 2 changes from the side that lost 2-0 to Chelsea. Sessegnon and Winks replace Son Heung-Min and Dier.
  • PRVW
    Brighton XI: Ryan, Webster, Duffy, Burn, Stephens, Bernardo, Gross, Mooy, Schelotto, Alzate, Connolly.
  • PRVW
    Tottenham XI: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Sissoko, Winks, Lucas Moura, Alli, Sessegnon, Kane.
