Brighton were the toast of N17 a week ago but it will be glasses cursed into rather than raised in their direction by those of a Tottenham persuasion this evening.
It was the Seagulls’ 2-1 victory at Arsenal last weekend that allowed Spurs to steal the initiative in the race for the top four by thumping Aston Villa a day later, but those watching events at the Emirates closely will have seen enough not to mark this down as a home gimme in the run-in and so it proved as Leandro Trossard’s wonderfully composed last-minute winner made it back-to-back victories in this part of town.
