Tottenham Fight Back From Two-Goal Deficit to Draw 2-2 at Brighton

Tottenham Hotspur came from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium, showcasing resilience under new manager Thomas Frank. Brighton started strong with early goals from Yankuba Minteh and Yasin Ayari, capitalizing on Tottenham's defensive vulnerabilities and high defensive line. Tottenham's Brazilian forward Richarlison scored just before halftime, narrowing the deficit and sparking a comeback. In the second half, Tottenham dominated possession and pressure, ultimately benefiting from an own goal by Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke in the 82nd minute to secure the draw. The result lifted Spurs to second place in the Premier League with 10 points from five games, while Brighton remained mid-table with five points, reflecting their inconsistent form. Despite Brighton's strong start and dominance in possession, Tottenham's comeback highlighted their fighting spirit and improved attacking threat, notably after the introduction of substitute Xavi Simons.
