SUB: Erik Lamela (Ndombele, 74) N/A – Was brought on to make things happen but couldn’t influence the game. Reuters
BRIGHTON RATINGS: Robert Sanchez 7 – Sanchez was sparked into action after the break and saved well twice from Vinicius. The Spaniard probably expected a busier evening. AFP
Ben White 8 –Another accomplished performance. Kept Son, Bale and Bergwijn quiet for much of the game and restricted the Tottenham attack to long-range efforts. Saw an effort saved by Lloris at the other end. AFP
Adam Webster 7 – Had a great tussle with Gareth Bale. Beat the Welshman for pace on more than one occasion and was rarely troubled. Blocked a shot from Son with his chest, though Spurs argued the case for a penalty. Reuters
Lewis Dunk 7 – Solid at the back, he came close to scoring but had to watch Bale clear his header off the line. Unbeatable in the air. AFP
Joel Veltman 7 – Very solid on the right-hand side and looked to get forward on the overlap. AFP
Pascal Gross 8 – Had the first chance of the game but saw his effort hit the post as he seized on some statuesque defending from the visitors. Ten minutes later, he pulled the ball back for Trossard to open the scoring. Classy performance in the middle. Reuters
Yves Bissouma 8 – The defensive midfielder made more interceptions than any other player and his passing was on point too. A superb performance. AFP
Alexis Mac Allister 8 – Was central to Brighton’s attacking powers and after coming close with a long-range effort, he supplied a defence-splitting pass to release Gross, who crossed for the opening goal. He came close to scoring several times. A danger all game. Reuters
Solly March 7 – Looked very comfortable in the left-wing back position. He kept Sissoko quiet and also managed to cause a bit of havoc in the Spurs defence when he got forward. AFP
Neal Maupay 7 – Brighton’s attacking midfielders had a field day and linked well, but their decision making in the final third could have cost them. Reuters
Leandro Trossard 7 – Scored his second goal of the season, his first since the opening day, when he drilled home following a neat team move. EPA
SUB: Dan Burn (Veltman, 72) N/A – Solid performance when he came on, clearing his lines well and formidable in the air. Reuters
SUB: Aaron Connolly (Trossard,79) N/A – Had a great chance to make sure of the three points when he had the goal at his mercy, but his effort was blocked by Alderweireld. A dink over the Belgian defender would no doubt have doubled Brighton’s score. Reuters
SUB: Adam Lallana (Maupay, 79) N/A – A welcome cameo to get some minutes under his belt after missing out in the Fulham game. AFP
TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Hugo Lloris 6 – Had very little chance of stopping Brighton’s opening goal but kept Spurs in the game when he stopped Ben White doubling the advantage after the break. Reuters
Joe Rodon 5 – Was found ball watching for Brighton’s goal but didn’t do a lot wrong after that. AFP
Toby Alderweireld 6 –Made a goal-saving block in the last 10 minutes to deny Connolly. As the most experienced of Tottenham’s three centre-backs, he struggled to keep Rodon and Sanchez in check, but he looked far more comfortable in the second half when Spurs went to four at the back. Made another great block to deny Mac Allister. Reuters
Davinson Sanchez 5 – Had a poor first half and couldn’t deal with Brighton’s attacking movement. Was substituted at half time. Reuters
Moussa Sissoko 5 – With Serge Aurier dropped and Matt Doherty on the bench, Sissoko filled the right wing-back position. It didn’t work, though he looked more comfortable as a right-back. Reuters
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg 6 – Was on the receiving end of a heavy challenge early on but was arguably Tottenham’s brightest spark. Battled well and tried to keep the ball moving. AFP
Tanguy Ndombele 6 – Like Hojbjerg, he battled hard in the middle and was caught a few times by wayward Brighton challenges, but he was bypassed by his teammates too many times. He saw more of the ball in the second half but turned over possession too frequently. Reuters
Ben Davies 4 – Started the game as a wing-back and lost Gross in the build-up to the opening goal. Looked more solid as a left-back when Spurs reverted to four at the back in the second half. Reuters
Gareth Bale 4 – Offered very little going forward but he tracked back on occasion and was in the right place at the right time on the line to clear Lewis Dunk’s goal-bound header. Was substituted after the break. Poor. AFP
Steven Bergwijn 5 – The liveliest of Tottenham’s attacking trident, he at least had an effort on goal, although it finished wide of the post. He then set up Vinicius for a shot in the second half. EPA
Son Heung-Min 5 - Had a very quiet night. Was restricted to a couple of long-range efforts that didn’t trouble Sanchez in the Brighton goal. AFP
SUB: Carlos Vinicius (Sanchez, 45) 6 – Tested Sanchez twice; once with a header and then a turn and shot. Looked the most likely to score for the visitors. Reuters
SUB: Lucas Moura (Bale, 61) 4 – Added some pace to the Spurs attack and his dribbling caused Brighton to drop deep, but overall he was ineffectual. Reuters
