- Tottenham vs Brighton saw Spurs stage dramatic comeback to win 2-1
- Dele Alli and Harry Kane scored a goal each to fire Spurs to victory
- Jose Mourinho's men now sit fifth on the league standings with 29 points
Tottenham had wait until the second half to down a stubborn Brighton & Hove Albion side in a tough Premier League match played on Thursday afternoon, December 26.
Spurs were looking to return to winning ways after suffering a 2-0 defeat to rivals Chelsea in their last league match.
Jose Mourinho had to contend with a major selection headache ahead of the Brighton clash following the absence of Heung-min Son who is currently serving a three-match ban.
Both teams had goalscoring chances just minutes into the match, with Alzate rolling a shot wide at one end before a quick Dele Alli break that could not bear fruits.
Gazzaniga would minutes later be forced to a brilliant save from Alzate's low curling effort.
Spurs should have taken the lead in the 24th minute, but Kane's goal was controversially ruled out for an offside by VAR.
Adam Webster went on to break the deadlock in the 37th minute, with the Englishman heading home from a freekick to make it 1-1.
The second half of the match saw the home side restore parity through Kane who equalised after pouncing on a loose ball.

Alli doubled the advantage in the 71st minute with a lovely lofted finish over the keeper after being set up by Serge Aurier.
Efforts by the Seagulls to find a leveller proved futile as Jose Mourinho's men held on to claim maximum points.
