End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME: Tottenham come from behind to beat Brighton, thanks to second half goals from Harry Kane and Dele Alli to close the gap on fourth-placed Chelsea to three points.
90'+3
Block! Lo Celso is denied a much needed goal by a vital sliding intervention by Alazate.
90'
Save! Alli has a great chance to put the game beyond the reach of Brighton but Ryan makes a fine one-handed stop to push his volley over the bar. There will be FOUR minutes of added time to play.
89'
Brighton aren't finished just yet. Trossard drills a lovely ball to the back post, Burn side-foots it across the face of goal but Maupay can't make the connection as Spurs scramble it clear.
87'
Brighton are dominating possession, probing for an equaliser. Spurs have almost everyone behind the ball, hoping to break when the opportunity presents itself.
84'
Yellow card! Sissoko certainly isn't in the Christmas spirit. He stops Brighton taking a free-kick, pushing Burns twice and deservedly goes into the book meaning he will miss the match with Norwich.

Whoops! Gross' shot should be food and drink for Gazzaniga but the Spurs goalkeeper spills it and has to gather it on the second attempt.

Spurs are sitting back, hoping to contain Brighton, as we enter the final 10 minutes of the contest.

Over! Mooy probably deserves a goal for his performance today but he flashes a shot from distance just over the bar. There's a reminder that Brighton are still dangerous.

Yellow card! Moura goes into the book for a clumsy tackle.

GOAL! Tottenham 2-1 Brighton (Alli): Spurs have turned it around! And it's a lovely team goal. Eriksen's exquisite ball to the back post is cut back by Aurier and Alli guides it first-time past Ryan to give Tottenham the lead for the first time in the match.

Save! Gross gets plenty of power and dip behind his free-kick but it's a straight forward save for Gazzaniga who opts to beat the ball away from goal rather than attempting to catch it.
66'
Free-kick! Winks, already on a yellow card, lunges in on Gross and gets nowhere near the ball. That ought to be a second booking but the referee is lenient on this occasion. Free-kick to Brighton on the edge of the box.
64'
Spurs' front-line has been much more lively since the goal. Alli is making runs into the box he hadn't been, Lo Celso has looked creative since his introduction and Kane is well, doing what Kane does.
