Ange Postecoglou is holding his final press conference of the Premier League season after Tottenham’s 4-1 loss against Brighton on Sunday.
In a great atmosphere following the Europa League triumph, the hosts opened the scoring with Dominic Solanke’s calm 17th minute penalty after Mathys Tel was tripped in the Brighton box. Tel had a great chance to double the score late in the first half only for Bart Verbruggen to save well from his low shot.
The hosts visibly tired a lot in the second half and Brighton grabbed an equaliser early on as the ball hit Solanke and bounced perfectly for Jack Hinshelwood to smash into the roof of the net. Hinshelwood netted again after the hour when Pedro Porro stepped away from him and Archie Gray didn’t get across to cover in time, leaving the Brighton man time to backheel the ball into the net as the ball fell his way from a corner.
Brighton got a third when Matt O’Riley scored from the spot, firing the ball inside the right-hand post after Yves Bissouma tried to cover the injured Destiny Udogie and took out Diego Gomez with a late challenge. Brighton’s fourth came when Gomez curled in a shot from distance. The Tottenham fans responded with the entire stadium singing ‘Oh when the Spurs go marching in’ as they waved their flags, knowing this week was not really about this match.
