Brighton’s use of their young players is impressive, Hinshelwood is one to watch! Pedro’s performance was top-notch, tottaly deserved the win.
as a spurs fan, this is disapointing. We need better defense, can’t keep losing like this. but hey, atleast we tried in the 2nd half.
Interesting match, Brighton’s tactics were on point. Spurs really need to work on their squad depth, injuries are no excuse for a poor defense.
not surprised by Brighton’s win, they’ve been solid this season. Pedro is a real talent, but what’s up with Tottenham’s strategy?
