Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou described his team's second-half collapse in the 3-2 loss at Brighton as “unacceptable” and “as bad as it gets.” Spurs conceded three goals in an 18-minute span soon after halftime in a meltdown that might be familiar to the club's fans.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou branded his side's 3-2 defeat against Brighton in the Premier League as his "worst defeat" since joining Tottenham.

The failure by Micky van de Ven or Destiny Udogie to cut out the cross led to Minteh’s opener. Then Rutter was free to receive Mitoma’s pass and run through on goal with no opposition. Worst of all was the third when Udogie failed to stop Rutter’s cross from the right, then Welbeck jumped above Cristian Romero in the box.
