Brighton v Tottenham LIVE: Latest Premier League updates

Spurs host Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League but will be without Cristian Romero through injury

Tottenham Hotspur will look to maintain their charge for the Premier League top four as they travel to face Brighton and Hove Albion this evening.

Spurs notched a third win in a row as they held on to scrape past Everton 2-1 last time out and victory against Roberto de Zerbi’s Seagulls would see them leapfrog Manchester City, and possibly Aston Villa, in the table.

Brighton have now gone three league games without a win after a frustrating 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace last Thursday but a win at the Amex Stadium would see them climb to seventh as they look to secure a second season of European football.

Kaoru Mitoma and Simon Adingra have added to Albion’s injury woes this week but Ange Postecoglou’s side have an even lengthier list of absentees, with centre-back Cristian Romero the latest addition thanks to a knee injury that may rule him out for up to five weeks.

WATCH: Pervis Estupinan scores stunner

Here’s that Estupinan thunderbolt from earlier. What a goal!

GOAL! Brighton 4-0 Tottenham (Joao Pedro, 75’)

And it’s there! Easy as you like from Pedro, who sends Vicario the wrong way and strokes it into the right corner. Classily done.

Disastrous evening for Spurs but brilliant form Brighton.

PENALTY! Brighton 3-0 Tottenham

73 mins: From bad to worse for Spurs. Evan Ferguson takes a touch just inside the box, Lo Celso desperately tries to tackle him from behind but it’s a clear foul as his foot makes contact with Ferguson’s leg and PENALTY GIVEN.

Joao Pedro will step up for a second time.

Brighton 3-0 Tottenham

71 mins: Jakub Moder only just on the pitch but already yellow carded as he stops Spurs taking a quick free-kick. Brennan Johnson has also just been taken off, with 20-year-old Argentine Alejo Veliz on in his place.

This game is surely out of sight now, although Tottenham will continue to press on.

Brighton 3-0 Tottenham

68 mins: Honestly, that Estupinan goal was unreal. And great quick-thinking from the corner from Milner as well.

Anyway, subs for both sides including Milner coming off alongside Welbeck, with Jakub Moder and Evan Ferguson on. Meanwhile, for Spurs, Pape Sarr and Richarlison – who has struggled – are off with Bryan Gil and Giovani Lo Celso on.

GOAL! Brighton 3-0 Tottenham (Pervis Estupinan 63’)

OH MY WORD! THAT IS INCREDIBLE FROM PERVIS ESTUPINAN.

The left-back, returning from injury from the bench today, picks up the ball 25 yards out after a quick Milner corner is passed to him and he thumps an absolute thunderbolt with his left foot that has swerve and dip on it as it flies into the top-right corner. Vicario dives but gets nowhere near it. A simply stunning goal.

NO GOAL! Brighton 2-0 Tottenham

62 mins: Ball in the net AGAIN from Richarlison but AGAIN he’s offside. Either Brighton’s line is perfect or he needs to hold his runs better… Maybe both.

Good build-up from Spurs down the right anyway and Richarlison slots the finish but he is definitely offside.

Brighton 2-0 Tottenham

59 mins: Another sub for Brighton as Buonanotte, who has looked lively down the flank, is clapped off with Carlos Baleba coming on. The Cameroon international will probably play more centrally in a holding role.

SAVE! Brighton 2-0 Tottenham

56 mins: Good save from Steele as Spurs start to turn the screw! Udogie sees his first shot blocked and the second is saved by good reflexes from the Brighton stopper.

Richarlison then given a yellow card as he pushes Pedro in the throat out on the right touchline. From the free-kick, Lewis Dunk gets a shot away in the box but it’s scuffed wide

CLOSE! Brighton 2-0 Tottenham

53 mins: Better from Tottenham. Good work by Son and he plays the ball into the feet of Richarlison, who turns and fires a shot at goal but it goes wide. Probably should have been on target.

The flag then goes up for the following move where Richarlison forces a save from the legs of Steele.
