Brighton came into tonight’s Premier League clash with Spurs looking to get back in the win column after three games without victory, following a loss vs Arsenal and draws vs Crystal Palace and Burnley.

Ten minutes later, Danny Welbeck won a penalty for Brighton which Joao Pedro converted to double their lead and send the Seagulls into the interval with a 2-0 advantage.
Pervis Estupinan sent the home crowd into oblivion with Brighton’s third of the match shortly after the hour mark, before Joao Pedro converted his second spot-kick of the night to make it four.
Alejo Veliz and Ben Davies scored two consolation goals for the visitors inside the final ten minutes but it was to no avail as Brighton claimed a huge win at home to stay within touching distance of the European spots.
The result leaves Brighton in eighth on 30 points, six points adrift Tottenham in fifth place.
What Next For Brighton & Tottenham?
