Tottenham produced a fantastic turnaround in the second half to come back from 1-0 down to overcome Brighton 2-1. Spurs started the game slowly once again and failed to create many meaningful chances in the first half.

The away side went into the break deservedly ahead but Spurs came out in the second half with much more intensity and pressed Brighton high up the pitch.

They soon got their reward as Harry Kane equalized on the rebound in the 52nd minute after seeing his initial shot saved by Matt Ryan.

Mourinho then introduced Christian Eriksen and Giovani Lo Celso early in the second half and both players provided much more of an attacking edge to the Spurs attack.

The Lilywhites fashioned several chances in the final half an hour of the game and eventually got the winner through a sublime finish by Dele Alli.

Some Spurs on social media hailed the changes made by Mourinho in the second half and also raved about the effort that Kane put in particularly in the last twenty minutes.

Tremendous second half performance from Spurs summer signing Giovani Lo Celso against Brighton.

The Argentinian’s introduction saw Spurs actually trying to link-up play in attack and thread through final balls, rather than always looking for a sideways pass.#THFC #COYS #TOTBHA pic.twitter.com/0bSyb08rnU

Dele is a generational talent.

Harry Kane ????????????????????????

Harry Kane has put in some graft today. What a man.

Apart from the fact we seem incompetent of playing 2 good halves of football, we’ve at least come from behind to win. Kane’s on the ball work was incredible, beating his man consistently, Gio was extremely positive, driving forwards and Lucas’s 2nd half was quality. COME ON

This is so much better in the second half, and Lo Celso has made a huge difference. Much more focus on the ball (in terms of movement) and tenacity off it.

Lo Celso has to start

Spurs Web Opinion

While there are a lot of things we can nitpick with this performance, one thing that was clear for all to see was the spirit that the players showed particularly in the second half. They were willing to run back and put their bodies on the line in order to see through the win. That is something that we didn’t always see under Pochettino.
