Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash between Brighton and Tottenham. Well, this will be an interesting one. Coming into the game off the back of THAT 7-2 thrashing at the hands of German champions Bayern Munich, Mauricio Pochettino simply must get a response from his fragile players. Spurs haven't won on the road in the league since January - now would be a reasonably good time to do just that.

42'

The onslaught continues, as Mooy lets fly from 25 yards but drags his shot wide.

40'

'We want seven' sing the Brighton fans...

38'

An awkward pass is played back to Gazzaniga, who slices his clearance. Is it too early for Pochettino to make his second switch? Something has to change.

36'

Is this Barcelona or Brighton? Here come the hosts again, Gross cutting the ball back to Connolly, whose shot is inches wide of Gazzaniga's goal.

34'

33'

Pochettino is sat with his arms folded. Not a happy customer. How will he react?

32'

GOAL! Brighton 2-0 Tottenham: Spurs are in huge, huge trouble here, but what a moment for 19-year-old Irish striker Connolly. He squeezes between two centre-halves to force Gazzaniga into a great reaction stop but he's quickest to react and sticks home the rebound. It's his first Premier League goal - on his first start!

30'

No penalty! Brighton open the visitors up at will on the break. The ball is squeezed into the path of Connolly who goes down under pressure from Sissoko, prompting strong appeals for a spot-kick from the Brighton faithful. Jon Moss waves play on.

29'

Spurs really haven't got going here and now Dier plays an awful square pass in midfield to give Brighton possession.

28'

27'

Shot! Tottenham have registered an effort on goal! Eriksen strikes from distance but Ryan doesn't have to move to make the save.

26'

Lloris has been given morphine and taken to hospital, according to BT Sport. Horrible.

25'

It's all Brighton at the moment, Connolly pulling wide to swing a dangerous cross which Maupay attacks, but he's beaten to the ball by Davies who heads clear.

24'

Brighton get in behind once more, Mooy switching it to Montoyo on the right but Ndombele is back to clear his cross.

22'

Vertonghen is fine to continue, he's back in the centre of defence.

20'

Vertonghen has been in the wars. The Spurs centre-back is down after a head collision with Maupay. He's being checked by the physio.

18'

Spurs string a few passes together but they're not looking comfortable out there. Important they show character to get back into the game. Pochettino cannot afford another defeat.

16'

A lofted ball out of defence picks Sissoko out behind the Brighton defence, but he's inches offside. That's the way it's going for Spurs at the moment.

15'

Dier tracks the run of Connolly all the way and makes a perfectly timed tackle on the young Irish forward in the penalty box.

13'

Davies races down the flank and tries to thread a ball through centrally to Lamela but Dunk reads the situation well and makes the intervention.
