Tottenham Hotspur lost 0-1 to Brighton & Hove Albion in the 2020-2021 English Premier League round 21 away game held at the Brighton Amex Stadium on the 1st at 4:15 AM KST.

It was two consecutive losses following the previous defeat against Liverpool. Tottenham maintained 6th place in the Premier League with 9 wins, 6 draws, 5 losses and 35 points.

Son Heung-min started as a front-line striker. Harry Kane, who was injured against Liverpool, didn’t go. Gareth Bale was the starter instead of Cain. Bale came first as a left-handed striker behind Son Heung-min.

Brighton with Tottenham is 17th in the league. It was a match between the top and relegated teams, but the rankings of the two teams seemed to have changed just by looking at the content of the game.

Tottenham were tied up throughout the first half. From the beginning of the game, Brighton was beaten unilaterally. The 29th minute before the first half, Brighton had five shots while Tottenham were silent with zero.

An absurd pass came out of the attack, and the midyear power fight was also pushed. In the 17th minute, he even scored the opening goal. Brighton’s Pascal Gross made an accurate pass from the left flank, and Leandro Trossad pushed the ball into the goal.

In the first half, Brighton had 9 shots and Tottenham only 1 shot. Tottenham couldn’t get through Brighton’s 500 defense at all. Although Tottenham had a slightly higher market share, Brighton was dominant in the first half.

After the end of the first half, Tottenham coach José Mourinho prepared for the second half more aggressively by subtracting defender Diego Sanchez and putting forward Pierre-Emil Hoivier. In the middle of the second half, he did not release the reins of the attack with Lucas Moura and Eric Lamela.

Son Heung-min hit the first shot in the game on the 5th minute of the second half. In the 29th minute of the second half, he threatened Brighton goal with a medium-range shot.

However, the overall game content did not improve even in the second half. During the build-up process, mistakes were made several times and the attack was not resolved. Rather, he was driven to a dead end by giving Brighton an effective shot close to the goal. It was Tottenham’s helpless defeat.
