Brighton 3-0 Tottenham Hotspur: 3 players who impressed 2 who were poor | Premier League 2019/20

Poor: Paulo Gazzaniga

Paulo Gazzaniga in goal for Tottenham Hotspur

Paulo Gazzaniga came on for the injured Hugo Lloris. However, it was business as usual in the Tottenham Hotspur backline, as the Lilywhites succumbed to another goalkeeping howler in the 32nd minute of play.

Yes, it may seem slightly harsh to call it a howler, however, he should have done better with it. Aaron Connolly scored his first by pouncing on a rebound, as Gazzaniga blocked his first shot but pushed the ball back into play, gifting the 19-year-old another pop. At this level of football, such mistakes are more often than not brutally punished.

Impressive: Lewis Dunk

Brighton & Hove Albion's Lewis Dunk - Captain fantastic

"We believe that we can beat sides like Tottenham. If we don’t, then there’s no point in us going out there. We’ll make sure we put in a performance to get us three points, and show the Premier League that we can beat these sides.”

• Lewis Dunk

Bold words from the Seagulls skipper, and in reality he backed up his words with a commendable individual performance. He was on his toes all game as he duelled with the likes of Harry Kane, repelling attack after attack. He had 10 clearances in the game, the most by any player.

His most telling contribution was a glorious assist in the 65th minute, as he played a precise through ball to Aaron Connolly from deep in the Brighton half, and the 19-year-old latched onto the pass to put the final nail in Spurs' coffin.
