Brighton clawed their way back into the game after the break, with Yankuba Minteh smashing in a close-range effort following a poor clearance by Destiny Udogie in the 48th minute.
Ten minutes later, Georginio Rutter skilfully bypassed three Tottenham defenders to slot home Kaoru Mitoma’s pass, levelling the score.
Brighton completed their comeback in the 66th minute when Danny Welbeck was left unmarked to head in Rutter’s cross.
This marked Tottenham’s third loss in seven league matches, prompting more questions about manager Ange Postecoglou’s commitment to his attacking philosophy, which continues to expose the team’s defensive weaknesses.
