Oliver Skipp (Kane 90’) – N/R. A late change for Spurs. Reuters
BRIGHTON RATINGS: Robert Sanchez – 7. Comfortably dealt with an early Son free-kick at his near post, and was later forced into a strong save to keep out Bentancur’s powerful strike. AFP
Joel Veltman – 6. Increasingly busy as Sessegnon dominated the wing, but Veltman did get in his fair share of tackles and blocks to limit his opponent’s chances. Booked for catching Son on the break. Reuters
Lewis Dunk – 7. Given the freedom from zonal marking, Dunk was free to try his luck from a corner, with a header narrowly going over the crossbar. At the other end of the pitch, Dunk’s inch-perfect challenge denied Son a run through on goal. Getty
Adam Webster – 6. Along with Dunk, Webster did well to limit Spurs’ chances on target. He looked very confident on the ball. AFP
Solly March – 6. Saw a shot go just wide of the post just before half-time after a period of good play from his side. Kept quiet for the most part by Sessegnon. PA
Moises Caicedo – 6. Deemed fit ahead of kick-off, Caicedo impressed throughout, and tested Lloris with an effort from distance on the half-hour mark. Getty
Alexis Mac Allister – 7. Neatly knitted things together in midfield, finding space in crowded areas to play the ball and dominating in possession. Reuters
Pervis Estupinan – 6. The Ecuadorian fell victim to allowing Doherty space and time on the wing in the first half, but he was able to tighten up as Brighton grew into the game. Getty
Pascal Gross – 6. Nearly added an assist when his corner found Dunk, who could only head over the crossbar in a decent opportunity for Brighton. Neat passing throughout. PA
Leandro Trossard – 5. A frustrating game following his thrilling hat-trick against Liverpool as Trossard struggled to get a shot away. Caught ball-watching for Kane’s goal. Getty
Danny Welbeck – 6. With an eye on opening his account for the season, Welbeck’s early shot from the outside of the box went narrowly wide of Lloris’ far post. He had another strike close to the break, but it was comfortable for the Frenchman. Getty
SUBS: KKaoru Mitoma (Estupinan 67’) – 6. Excited the Amex Stadium by barging through Romero in a storming run before he ran the ball out of play for a goal-kick. Getty
Adam Lallana (Gross 82’) – N/R. Worked hard to keep Brighton on the front foot and stop Spurs going forward. PA
Tariq Lamptey (Veltman 89’) – N/R. A late appearance but did try to do keep Brighton’s pressure on with neat footwork on the flank. PA
Billy Gilmour (Caicedo 89’) – N/R. Part of a double substitution tight at the end. Reuters
TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Hugo Lloris – 7. Lucky to see March’s shot go just wide of the post, but otherwise he was untroubled. He looked comfortable a Brighton lacked an end product. AFP
Cristian Romero – 6. Kept busy throughout, he managed to get his foot in to make a couple of blocks and tackles but gifted an unnecessary free-kick in the closing stages of the game. Reuters
Eric Dier – 7. Strong and comfortable, Dier again put in a display of a centre-back who controlled the backline and kept Brighton at bay. Getty
Ben Davies – 6. In for Lenglet after a stint on the bench, Davies’ return seemed to open the door for Sessegnon to power forward on several occasions. Reuters
Matt Doherty – 6. On his first start of the season with Emerson Royal suspended, he perhaps looked a little rusty in the early stages. However, came close at the other end, firing over the crossbar on two separate occasions. AFP
Rodrigo Bentancur – 7. Forced a full-stretch save from Sanchez after the ball fell kindly inside the opening 20 minutes. He dominated in the tackle department. Reuters
Yves Bissouma – 6. Made amends for a needless booking with a crucial block to deny his former side an equaliser minutes later. Reuters
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – 7. Put in a lovely ball to Son, who whipped it in the box for Kane. Hojbjger also contributed his fair share of blocks and interceptions in a busy midfield battle. PA
Ryan Sessegnon – 7. Consistently an attacking presence for Spurs on the wing, Sessegnon was always looking for a way forward and to make things happen. However, he nearly gifted Brighton a goal when he was caught out by a Richarlison pass in the Spurs box. Getty
Son Heung-min – 7. Forced a strong punch from Sanchez with an early free-kick. Added his second assist of the season when he curled in a beautiful ball for Kane to head home. He later curled an effort past Sanchez, but was rightly called offside. Getty
Harry Kane – 8. Opened the scoring by stooping low to head past Sanchez for the opener. Should have doubled his side’s lead in the second half when he drilled a shot wide of the post. Booked for a deliberate handball in the box. AFP
SUBS: Richarlison (Bissouma 71’) – 6. Added a sense of urgency on his arrival. PA
Ivan Perisic (Son 80’) – N/R. Dropped to the bench and a substitution booed by the away fans, but he provided a cross which just evaded Richarlison in the closing stages. Reuters
