After the debacle at the Bosuil, José Mourinho started the match against Brighton & Hove Albion with a lot of new boys, including Toby Alderweireld in the center of the back.
Gareth Bale got another place on the bench, for Dele Alli, Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Carlos Vinicius and Steven Bergwijn that was not even possible. They fell next to the match selection.
After 13 minutes, Tottenham received a penalty on a pass from the VAR. Harry Kane did not fail from eleven meters.
Not much later, Leandro Trossard also claimed a penalty, now the VAR surprisingly saw no bones in the clear draw error of Matt Doherty.
The deserved equalizer came after the break. Tariq Lamptey completed a handsome attack from the visitors. There was a lot of protest from the home team for a foul on Emile Hojberg, but the goal was not disallowed.
In the end, Mourinho Bale threw between the lines. He immediately thanked the Portuguese. With his head he nodded the good cross of Sergio Reguilon in goal, good for his first Tottenham goal in more than 7 years. With three points added, Tottenham is currently 2nd in the Premier League.
