In a dramatic game on Saturday afternoon, Tottenham Hotspur claimed a late victory over Brighton and Hove Albion, thanks to Harry Kane’s 23rd English Premier League goal of the season.
Son Heung-min had put Spurs ahead in the opening minutes with a stunning strike, but Lewis Dunk equalised with a header shortly after. Managers Cristian Stellini and Roberto De Zerbi were both sent off for a pitchside scuffle, and both teams had goals disallowed. However, Kane’s winner keeps Tottenham in the race for a top-four spot.

Tottenham began the game the stronger of the two sides but Brighton quickly found opportunities in their defence. Although Hugo Lloris made some great saves to preserve Son’s lead, Dunk eventually equalised with a header from a corner. Brighton also had a goal disallowed due to handball, while both teams’ coaches were sent off for an ensuing scuffle.
After the chaos settled down, Kane scored the winner with a powerful shot that clipped off a defender and into the corner. The game was a thrilling showcase of EPL football, with both teams putting in strong performances despite the chaotic events.
The win keeps Tottenham’s hopes for a top-four spot alive, but they will need to continue their strong performances to secure it. They next face Bournemouth on Saturday while Brighton will visit Chelsea on the same day.
