Tottenham Hotspur surrendered a late lead against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, extending their winless league run to 15 matches. Pedro Porro opened the scoring with a header in the 39th minute before Kaoru Mitoma equalised for the visitors in first-half stoppage time. Xavi Simons restored the lead for the home side after 77 minutes, but Georginio Rutter scored a 95th-minute equaliser following a defensive error by Kevin Danso.
The result leaves Roberto De Zerbi's side in 18th place, one point behind West Ham United and two points adrift of Nottingham Forest, according to the Associated Press. Both rivals have played one fewer game than Tottenham. Spurs have not won a Premier League fixture in 2026, a stretch of 111 days per The Independent. The club has five matches remaining to avoid a first relegation since 1978. De Zerbi, facing his former club in his first home game in charge, told reporters his team can still win its remaining five matches to stay up.
