Tottenham came from two goals down to draw 2-2 away at Brighton in the Premier League. The match showed strong character and big changes under new leadership.
Brighton took a 2-0 lead by the 30-minute mark. Yankuba Minteh scored first, then Yasin Ayari added another from distance. Spurs looked in trouble at the Amex Stadium.
Just before half-time, Tottenham reduced the deficit. Richarlison found space and finished well. That goal gave Spurs hope going into the break.
In the second half, Tottenham pressed Brighton hard. They controlled much of the play. The pressure finally paid off when a cross from Tottenham was deflected in by a Brighton defender for an own goal. The score became 2-2.
The comeback draws attention to Tottenham’s defensive resilience and improved mindset. Last season, Spurs lost games from such positions. This time they held firm. The manager praised the team for grit and physicality. Spurs also showed better control in midfield after changes off the bench.
Brighton manager admitted his side started well but then lost momentum. Brighton missed opportunities and could not protect their lead.
With this result, Tottenham climbed to second in the Premier League standings. Ten points from five games is a strong return. Still, Tottenham know they must improve consistency to challenge at the top.
Fans will see the draw as a sign of growth. Tottenham’s ability to recover after going 2-0 down shows mental strength. It also raises expectations for upcoming matches, including in domestic and European competitions.
Tottenham now prepare for their next league match under pressure to win. The belief is growing that this squad can push for big goals this season. But performances need to stay sharp, especially in defence, as mistakes earlier in matches almost cost them here.
