Tottenham Hotspur will travel to the AMEX to take on Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Sunday. Ange Postecoglou's men will look to extend their winning run to six matches in all competitions while Brighton will be focused on recovering from their 4-2 drubbing at the hands of Chelsea last weekend.
The Seagulls got off to a fiery start last Saturday with Georginio Rutter giving them the lead as early as the eighth minute of the game. Little did they know that the beast in Cole Palmer had awakened and was about to execute a blitzkrieg of epic proportions on them.
The former Manchester City man scored four goals for the Blues in the first half, becoming the first-ever Premier League player to do so in the process. Carlos Baleba managed to pull one back for Brighton, but it ultimately amounted to nothing when the final whistle was blown.
Despite it only being their first loss of the 2024-25 Premier League campaign, the defeat pushed Fabian Hurzeler's side down to ninth in the table.
Meanwhile, Tottenham dismantled a haphazard Manchester United last Sunday. Spurs were already in front, thanks to a Brennan Johnson strike in the third minute, when Bruno Fernandes was sent off in controversial circumstances.
Second-half goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke helped Spurs seal all three points and rise to eighth in the Premier League standings. After a difficult start to the new league campaign, finding consistency will be a priority for Postecoglou and his men right now.
