Brighton v Tottenham LIVE: Latest score and goal updates from Premier League clash

Another vital block! A gorgeous lifted pass from Cristian Romero finds James Maddison, who had timed his run superbly. Maddison takes it nearly but waits and waits before firing on goal, allowing Adam Webster to slide back in the nick of time.

Three chances inside five minutes for Spurs.

Crikey, this is a lively start form the visitors. Dejan Kulusevski jinks and jives by Lewis Dunk, who makes a strong recovery to jut out a blocking boot as the Tottenham trickster releases his shot.

So nearly an opener inside a minute! Spurs take a page out of Brentford’s book and break Brighton open instantly, Timo Werner streaking up the left with Brennan Johnson an equally rapid individual riding in the sidecar. The German squares across the box but it is too far in front of the sliding Welshman – a real missed opportunity!

We’re underway at the Amex Stadium.

All four of Tottenham’s teenage starlets are on the bench today, should Ange Postecoglou need to look to youth a little later.

Ahead of kick off, a moment of applause in memory of the late Barry Lloyd, the former Brighton manager and chief scout who passed away last weekend.

Kick off rapidly approaching in Falmer, a rather dreary afternoon likely to be enlivened by two sides who favour something jaunty. Aston Villa and Manchester United didn’t exactly captivate earlier – you’d imagine this could be rather more thrilling.

“We don’t keep it controlled. Let’s keep it open, that way we entertain everyone and hopefully get a result. We certainly want to play an expansive game and be positive, and Brighton like to do the same thing. It should be a good game.

“It’s not like it is a carbon copy, there are differences in the details. For us, it’s about playing our football and trying to dominate the game in the areas we want to.”

No Heung-min Son for Tottenham this afternoon, of course, with the club captain also missing South Korea’s international business as he looks to get back to full fitness when the Premier League returns.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have been held by 10-man Nottingham Forest in a pulsating match:

Ange Postecoglou saluted his four teenage starters after they helped Tottenham to a hard-fought 2-1 victory at Ferencvaros in the Europa League, but is not ready to dub them ‘Ange’s Angels’ yet.

Four players aged 19 or under were named in the Spurs line-up in Budapest with full debuts handed to academy graduates Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear, but the duo brushed off their inexperience to combine to set up Pape Sarr’s 23rd-minute opener.

Sarr scored amid a ferocious white-hot atmosphere at Groupama Arena and while Ferencvaros pushed the visitors, Tottenham substitute Brennan Johnson wrapped up the points with a smart finish in the 86th-minute to score for a fifth consecutive game.
