Tottenham rocked as Brighton claw back to win

Tottenham blew a two-goal lead in a stunning 3-2 defeat at Brighton on Sunday.

Brennan Johnson put Tottenham in front after 25 minutes with a clinical strike from Dominic Solanke's pass. It was the Wales forward's sixth goal in his last six appearances.

James Maddison doubled Tottenham's lead in the 37th minute as the midfielder's shot eluded Bart Verbruggen's weak attempted save.

But Yankuba Minteh reduced the deficit with a close-range blast after Destiny Udogie's woeful clearance in the 48th minute

Georginio Rutter eluded three Tottenham defenders to convert Kaoru Mitoma's 58th minute pass with a composed finish from 12 yards.

And Tottenham's meltdown was complete eight minutes later when Danny Welbeck was left unmarked to head home from Rutter's cross.

Tottenham's third defeat in seven league games raised renewed questions about boss Ange Postecoglou's refusal to adapt his attacking philosophy after their defensive flaws were brutally exposed.
