Ange Postecoglou’s side claimed another thrilling late victory at home when Brennan Johnson’s 96th winner secured the points. 

Tottenham had fallen behind to Pascal Gross’ first-half penalty but were able to fashion a way back into the tie on the hour before the Welshman struck.

Victory lifted the north Londoners above Aston Villa into fourth place ahead of their tough game against Manchester United on Sunday. 

Here, Mail Sport takes a look at the players who shone and those thankful of the referee’s final whistle.

Guglielmo Vicario

Made an incredible early save to deny. He could do nothing about Gross’ penalty and had precious little to do after that. 7

Pedro Porro

Was his usual energic self, getting up and down the right flank. Appeared to tire as the game went on. 6

Cristian Romero

Commanding and won the ball back high up the field. He defended well at the back for most of the game. 7.5

Micky van de Ven

Not one of his finest days in a Spurs shirt. Lost possession which led to the Welbeck chance before giving away the penalty. Improved after the break. 6

Destiny Udogie

Came off in the final 10 minutes after a disciplined display. 6

Pape Matar Sarr

Showing his promise on a regular basis. He was good to start the game and only improved before scoring the equaliser. 8

Rodrigo Bentancur

Started slowly and was culpable for Brighton’s opener. Lasted only an hour after a sub par afternoon. 6

James Maddison

Involved in a lot of Spurs’ good moments. Set Richarlison up for a chance early on before playing a part in the late winner. 7

Dejan Kulusevski 

Another who improved as the game went on. Played the ball through to Sarr in the build-up to the equaliser. 7

Richarlison

Led the line well, worked hard and ran all afternoon. Had a few shots that were either blocked or saved before playing the ball into Son, which he delivered for the winner. 7.5

Timo Werner

Quiet first half that didn’t really improve in the second. Final ball was inconsistent . 6.5

SUBS

Son Heung-min ( for Bentancur, 62 mins)

Assisted the winning goal after coming on and making a impact. A brilliant return for the South Korean. 7

Yves Bissouma (for Kulusevski, 63 mins)

Looked rusty after his lay off. Improved as the game went on. 6

Brennan Johnson (for Werner, 62 mins)

Fluffed his lines with a couple of attempts before making it count late on. 7

Rodrigo Bentancur had an uneven day at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium having featured in the build-up to the Seagulls' opener

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (for Udogie, 80 mins)

Came on in place of Udogie in the final 10 mins of regular time.  

Ben Davies (for Sarr, 80 mins)

Replaced Sarr after the Senegal midfielder had tired.
