Porro gives hope, but Spurs in danger after late Brighton draw (video) | OneFootball

Tottenham, featuring Pedro Porro and João Palhinha, let victory slip away in the closing moments against Brighton (2-2) in a Premier League Matchday 33 clash. Spurs were ahead until stoppage time, but ended up conceding the equaliser deep into added time.

The first half was evenly matched and offered few clear chances. The best came in the 34th minute, when Danny Welbeck came close to scoring for Brighton, but was denied by a fine save from Antonin Kinsky. Tottenham’s response was swift and, in the 39th minute, Xavi Simons picked out former Sporting player Pedro Porro, who headed the ball into the net to put the London side in front.

Before the break, Brighton restored parity thanks to a brilliant goal from Kaoru Mitoma, who gave the opposing goalkeeper no chance. In the second half, João Palhinha came on to strengthen Tottenham and even threatened to score shortly after, but without success. The game remained open until, in the 77th minute, Xavi Simons shone again, this time with a shot from outside the box that, after hitting the post, went in for 2-1, sending the home fans into raptures.

Just when it looked like all three points would stay in London, Brighton responded and were rewarded in stoppage time. At 90+5, Jan Paul van Hecke set up Georginio Rutter, who finished superbly to seal the final draw.

With this result, Tottenham remain in a very difficult situation in the Premier League, sitting 18th on 31 points, in the relegation zone. Brighton, meanwhile, are ninth with 47 points.
