Premier League, Tottenham-Brighton 1-0. Count defeated by Trossard

Tottenham did not sting, Brighton took advantage of it and, in the end, punished Conte’s team with a goal at the end: in the anticipation of the 33rd day of the Premier League, the Spurs wasted the opportunity to further stretch on Arsenal. The thrust of the sixty thousand spectators is not enough for Kane and his companions to unlock the match against the Seagulls who, after 89 minutes on the 0-0 result, find the goal of the advantage thanks to a great play by Leandro Trossard. After four consecutive victories in the championship, Antonio – returned to the bench after having tested negative for the swab – folds in front of the new black beast… of the Londoners. For the sixth time this season, Brighton come out undefeated from a game in the capital: the overall balance is 3 wins and 3 draws.

BITTER IN THE MOUTH

–

The Spurs take the field with the classic 3-4-3, relying on the usual trident made up of Son, Kane and Kulusevski and replacing the injured Doherty with Emerson Royal. The first fraction is devoid of emotion, except for a few twists of Son who still fails to scare Robert Sanchez. The Seagulls are not unbalanced and concede very little in the non-possession phase, the first real opportunity for Tottenham comes fifteen minutes from the end when Reguillon, a goalkeeper now beaten, does not arrive by a whisker on Hojbjerg’s low-level cross. At the end, here is the 0-1 goal: Trossard receives the ball on the edge, jumps an opponent and, face to face with Lloris, crosses the far post with a shot from outside. Conte leaves the pitch with a bad taste in his mouth, forced to cheer Southampton starting at 16: the Saints will host Arsenal in this afternoon’s match, which could relaunch the Gunners in the run-up to fourth place.
