After a positive streak of three consecutive victories, Tottenham experienced a disheartening loss against Brighton. The London-based team faltered in a disappointing first half, where Brighton secured a commanding 2-0 lead within just 22 minutes, with an additional stunning goal from Pervís Estupiñán that stifled any comeback efforts (4-2).

Despite a more promising second half for Tottenham, featuring goal-scoring opportunities and overturned plays, the team couldn't fully turn the tide. Defensive errors and a penalty conceded by Lo Celso exacerbated the situation, resulting in a final score of 4-2 in favor of Brighton.

Tottenham's inconsistency was once again laid bare, raising doubts about their ability to contend for the Premier League title this season. The absence of Harry Kane and a six-point gap from the top spot underscore the challenges facing the team. Despite holding onto European spots, the defeat raises questions about Spurs' ongoing performance in upcoming competitions.
