Gareth Bale registered his first Spurs goal since 2013, helping the side collect all three points in Premier League matchday 7.
Tottenham drew much criticism following a shock Europa League defeat to lowly Antwerp and were in need of a much-needed win when they took to the pitch to face Brighton – and so they did.
Jose Mourinho’s side were the first to strike as they took the lead inside the first 15 minutes.
An initially awarded free-kick on the edge of the box was turned into a penalty following VAR check, and a confident Harry Kane stepped up and scored his sixth league goal of the season.
Deep into the second half, Spurs struck again. Gareth Bale, after just three minutes of coming on, headed home on a pinpoint delivery from Sergio Reguilon to cancel out Tariq Lamptey’s equalizer.
