Brighton Crush Spurs with 4-1 Comeback but Still Miss Out on Europe
Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham side endured another rough outing in their Premier League campaign, though the sting of this 4-1 defeat was softened by recent success in Europe. Just days after securing Europa League glory with a win over Manchester United, Spurs approached this final league fixture with little at stake.
Brighton, on the other hand, had much more to play for. Eager to secure eighth place and keep their hopes alive for a UEFA Conference League spot, the Seagulls delivered a dominant second-half performance.
Jack Hinshelwood led the charge, scoring twice to spark Brighton’s comeback. Substitute Matt O’Riley added a goal from the penalty spot, and Diego Gómez sealed the result with a stunning strike. Despite the emphatic victory, Brighton’s efforts fell short of UEFA qualification due to unfavorable results elsewhere.
While Tottenham supporters continued to revel in their European triumph, the loss was a sobering reminder of the inconsistencies that plagued their domestic campaign. For Brighton, it was a rousing finish to the season—albeit one without the European reward they had hoped for.
