Tottenham Hotspur host Brighton & Hove Albion, the team that beat them 4-2 at the AmEx in December, and come from behind to a dramatic 2-1 last-minute win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs equalised at 1-0 in the 17th minute thanks to Pascal Gros, but turned up the intensity in the second half.
Pape Sarr scored his third goal of the season and equalised after a pass that bounced off the post and Brennan Johnson made sure of the win on the counter-attack in the 96th minute, scoring at the back post after a pass from substitute Son Heung-Min.
Roy Keane thinks Tottenham Hotspur should forget about the League Title and instead be worried about being caught by Manchester United after the Red Devils beat Aston Villa on Sunday.
Spurs scored a big winner on Saturday as Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson, who came off the bench, combined to win against Brighton after an extremely hard-fought game in which both sides had some dominant moments.
The win saw Ange Postecoglou’s men return to the top four, while Villa slipped to fifth after their defeat to Man Utd and Scott McTominay secured their third consecutive Premier League win with an 86th-minute goal from Erik Ten Hag at Villa Park.
Roy Keane thinks Spurs will be worried about Man United:
The Red Devils are potentially back in the race for Champions League qualification, with United just six points below Tottenham.
Keane believes that after Sunday’s result, Spurs and Villa will now be looking nervously over their shoulders, fearing that the Manchester club will chase them down.
The pundit told Sky Sports (11/02, 6:30pm), “I think they (Man Utd) have that momentum and the teams in front of them, particularly Spurs and Villa, who will be chasing them, will be worried, absolutely.”
A six-point advantage could evaporate quickly, so there is no doubt that Man Utd are back in the race for fourth top. However, Ange made it clear that his team is looking up rather than down, especially now that Spurs have all their key players back.
