"For a short spell at the Amex on Saturday, Tottenham supporters might have feared the familiar tag of inconsistency was about to resurface. Despite beginning the season strongly and controlling much of the early play against Brighton, Spurs somehow found themselves 2-0 down inside the opening half-hour. Given that this was the same stadium where, less than a year ago, they let a two-goal lead slip in a 3-2 defeat, the situation carried an all-too-familiar sense of déjà vu."
""I think this is our best performance of the season," the Spurs manager told BBC Match of the Day. "I actually think that overall, if there should have been a winner, it should have been us. "So many crosses into the box, near chances, missed opportunities. We were physically strong and mentally strong, and that is so important if you want to achieve something.""
Tottenham conceded two early goals at the Amex despite controlling much of the opening play. The team steadied itself and produced a comeback led by Richarlison and an own goal from Jan Paul van Hecke to secure a draw. Spurs created numerous chances and arguably merited a win based on opportunities and attacking pressure. The draw marked the first time in three years Tottenham avoided an away league defeat after trailing by two or more goals, ending 15 consecutive such losses. Manager Thomas Frank described the performance as their best of the season and emphasized physical and mental strength.
