Kane's emotional Ventrone tribute, Bissouma repeat - 5 things spotted in Brighton vs Tottenham

Formation change and some much-needed rotation

Following the success of a 3-5-2 formation in the final 20 minutes of last month's 6-2 demolition of Leicester City, Antonio Conte finally opted to go with the setup from the off at Brighton & Hove Albion. That meant Yves Bissouma came in for only his second Spurs start, as he was named in the side against his former club.

Making four changes in total from the goalless draw at Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek, Matt Doherty, Ben Davies and Ryan Sessegnon were the other three to come in alongside Bissouma. The formation change meant there was no place for Richarlison in the XI, though.
