Spurs yet to get out of second gear really, and this Brighton side are clearly here for the taking. The visitors slowing it down when they can. 'Do a Burnley', and all that.
29'
And check this out over in La Liga - all happening away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium....
25'
Patient build-up results in a Wanyama shot which is blocked, and the midfielder is then fouled some 25 yards out.
Son opts to take it quick but Moura is then dispossessed - reckon Eriksen and Trippier won't be best pleased with Son, but Moura did look open.
23'
Good punch away from Lloris under pressure from Dunk, who did appear to push Vertonghen but get away with it in the Spurs area when the cross came in.
21'
The pressure from Spurs is mounting. Finding plenty of joy down the left with Rose too...
20'
Locadia fouls Rose and Spurs have a chance to cross it in from a decent angle...
Eriksen stands over it... could he shoot??
SCRAMBLE! He does indeed shoot and it pinballs around the box before falling for Vertonghen, who sees his shot blocked before Brighton just about clear the danger.

Opta now saying seven seconds but it's still a record that Long goal. Check it out below if you're in the UK...
16'
The corner comes in and Dunk's header deflects over off Vertonghen...
The second corner is cleared by Trippier!
15'
Alli down in the box meanwhile after landing awkwardly... Not a sight Spurs fans want to see but he's back up and will not require treatment.
14'
Brighton have a free-kick and they now have a corner after Wanyama's swipe in the area flies over his own bar.
11'
Wowza. Burnley's goalkeeper Tom Heaton was yellow carded for time-wasting in the first half at Chelsea last night.
If Mat Ryan's first goal-kick is anything to go by, he could join him in the first half here...
He has a second goal-kick and the referee is already urging him to be quicker.
10'
CLOSE! Eriksen tries his luck from 25 yards out. It's a low strike and Alli looks to flick it into the opposite corner, but he can't quite get a touch on the ball as it bounces wide.
8'
A quiet start in comparison at Spurs. Home fans in good voice, and their players are controlling possession. Chances will come, no doubt.
6'
New take, this.
5'
And Long just so happens to have taken that record from former Spurs captain Ledley King, who is watching on from the stands at this game!
4'
Opta say Long's goal at Vicarage Road is the fastest in Premier League history!
3'
Spurs meanwhile have a free-kick some 25 yards out but it's just wide enough for Trippier to cross instead of Eriksen to shoot...
The ball comes in and Vertonghen heads harmlessly over.
1'
There's another Premier League game going on at the same time... and Shane Long has put Southampton ahead at Watford AFTER UNDER TEN SECONDS!!
1st Half
KICK-OFF
Right then. Away we go at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
19.42
Out come the players. Expecting Spurs to get the job done here and consolidate their place at third in the table.
Battling a Brighton side fighting to stay up though, so let's see...
19.38
Brighton have not scored in their past five league games, picking up just a point along the way. Worryingly, they've had just five shots on target in those five games too...
And Spurs at their new home? Three games, three wins, seven goals scored, none conceded.
