Match Report
Aaron Connolly scored twice and Hugo Lloris suffered a serious arm injury as Tottenham lost 3-0 at Brighton and Hove Albion to cap a dismal week.
Humiliated in a 7-2 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich in midweek, Spurs needed a response to ward off rumours of disharmony but encountered only more pain at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.
Lloris bore the worst of it, the captain left in agony and taken from the field on a stretcher following a lengthy delay after landing awkwardly on his left arm in an incident that gifted the hosts a third-minute lead.
Match Events
3' GOAL! Brighton 1-0 Tottenham (Maupay)
Lloris claims a cross but somehow allows it to squirm from his grasp, with Maupay on hand to head home from virtually on the line! It's 1-0 to Brighton!
5' What a terrible error and now a terrible moment for the Lloris
The Frenchman landed very awkwardly on his left arm following his mistake and looks to be in real pain. The stretcher is out and it looks a serious injury.
32' GOAL! Brighton 2-0 Tottenham (Connolly)
The ball is crossed in from the left and he produces a clever flicked effort that Gazzaniga can only parry back into his path. The teenager then curls into the far corner via a slight deflection off Davies!
65' GOAL! Brighton 3-0 Tottenham (Connolly)
Dunk plays a delightful long ball to the young forward on the left and he cuts inside Alderweireld before curling low into the bottom corner!
