MAN OF THE MATCH?

Trossard ends Brighton's wait for home win

Leandro Trossard scored as Brighton & Hove Albion beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 for their first home win of the Premier League season.

Brighton started on the front foot and Pascal Gross's third-minute shot clipped the left post.

The Seagulls went ahead on 17 minutes, when a cutback by Gross found Trossard, who beat Hugo Lloris with a composed finish.

It took a fine stop by Lloris to keep out Ben White's 56th-minute shot, before Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez produced a superb save from substitute Carlos Vinicius's strike.

Aaron Connolly looked set to add a second goal for the home side in the 84th minute, but Toby Alderweireld produced an incredible sliding challenge to keep out his close-range shot.

A second win in three matches puts Brighton 17th on 21 points, seven clear of 18th-placed Fulham.

Spurs remain sixth with 33 points.
