EPL: Brighton 1-1 Tottenham


Harry Kane, right, fires Spurs into the lead.

Tottenham were held by Brighton as they missed the chance to confirm a Premier League finish above Arsenal while their lead over Chelsea was cut to eight points.


An eventful couple of minutes saw Brighton come from behind to draw 1-1 with Tottenham at the Amex.

Spurs had the chance to move 10 points clear of fifth-placed Chelsea in the battle for a top-four finish and they appeared on course to do so when Harry Kane broke the deadlock early in the second half - his 26th league goal of the season to move four behind Liverpool's Mo Salah in the Golden Boot race.

Their lead did not last long though, as the north Londoners gave a penalty away just 18 seconds after Kane's strike, Serge Aurier committing a foul on Jose Izquierdo in the box.

Pascal Gross stepped up to coolly beat Hugo Lloris, to edge the Seagulls closer to the 40-point mark, while Tottenham move eight ahead of Antonio Conte's Blues Chelsea.

The draw leaves Brighton eight points clear of the relegation zone ahead of an unenviable final four fixtures against seventh-placed Burnley, Manchester United, champions Manchester City and free-scoring Liverpool.

Spurs forward Harry Kane boosted his side's top-four hopes, as well as the race for the Golden Boot, when he fired the visitors ahead after good work from Heung-min Son on 48 minutes.
