Tottenham started on the front foot. Robert Sanchez kept out Heung-Min Son’s fourth-minute free-kick before. Matt Doherty got on the end of Ryan Sessegnon’s deep cross but couldn’t keep his effort down. Tottenham’s efforts were rewarded on 21 minutes when Son collected Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s pass from a cleared corner and whipped in a cross which Kane flicked into the net.

The hosts responded well and pushed back in search of their equaliser. Moises Caicedo’s long-ranger was pushed away by Hugo Lloris. Lewis Dunk headed over from a corner. Solly March drilled just wide. Lloris was called into action again to keep out Danny Welbeck, but Spurs led at the break.

It was a far more even second half. It wasn’t until 62 minutes that the first big chance came after the interval. Kane rolled Dunk to get a clear sight of the goal but dragged his effort wide. Son had the ball in the net with a stylish curler but it was ruled out for offside, while at the other end, Doherty showed great defensive awareness to get across and tackle Leandro Trossard as he shaped to shoot from eight yards out.
Brighton, with manager Roberto de Zerbi in charge for his first home game, threw men forward in the closing stages. However, Spurs held out for a big win on the south coast.
