"Spurs came flying out of the traps in the first half but were hugely fortunate not to concede in the 32nd minute. Micky van de Van got ahead of Danny Welbeck from Jack Hinshelwood's knock-down, and the stand-in skipper was lucky to divert the ball off his own post."
"They could not see that advantage through to half-time, though, with Kaoru Mitoma - who replaced the injured Diego Gomez - lashing a spectacular volley past Antonín Kinsky."
"There was to be one final twist, though, as Van Hecke picked the pocket of Kevin Danso and found Rutter, who delivered a hammer blow to Spurs' survival hopes by firing into the roof of the net."
Tottenham's match against Brighton ended in a 2-2 draw, keeping them in the Premier League relegation zone. Spurs initially took the lead through Pedro Porro but conceded a volley from Kaoru Mitoma before halftime. In the second half, Xavi Simons scored to put Spurs ahead again, but Georginio Rutter equalized in stoppage time. The draw increased Tottenham's relegation risk, with their chances of staying up rising to 53% after the match.
