#2 Brighton dominated the game

Brighton & Hove Albion v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League

Right from the start of the game, Graham Potter’s men were positive and inspired on the pitch. Brighton pressed well and was determined to stamp their authority in the game. They did have a stroke of luck in the first goal, but in the end, the result was fully deserved. The home side did not go on the defensive after getting the lead, instead, they aspired to score more goals and in the end, their efforts bore fruits.

Brighton won the midfield battle early in the game and also dictated the run of play. Their passing was good and they even matched Tottenham for possession and passing accuracy. Brighton ended the game with 17 shots compared to Spurs’ 8, which clearly showed their dominance on the day. The home side also had 6 shots on target, while the visitors could only manage 3.

Very few people expected Brighton to take the game to Tottenham, but that was exactly what the Seagulls did. And it turned out to be a masterstroke.
