Leandro Trossard powered Brighton to defeat Tottenham Hotspur in a stunning turn of events as the relegation-threatened team made a comeback to Premier League by handing Tottenham their second consecutive loss after Liverpool defeated them mercilessly. Jose Mourinho later admitted that his lads lacked energy during the night where Brighton registered a lead in the first half itself at the Amex Stadium.
With Harry Kane sidelined Spurs lacked depth and could not even force a draw to settle on 6th place on the table with just two wins from their 9 matches. Their hope for the title this season seems to be dwindling as they are now 11 points behind leaders Manchester City. Next as per schedule, they face Chelsea on Thursday which seemingly is their last hope to stay competitive.
