Tottenham Hotspur captain Heung-Min Son scores a goal in stoppage time against Brighton & Hove Albion to lift them into the top four on his return from the Asian Cup.
In a game of waves, Brighton dominated the first 20 minutes before struggling to break out of their own half until the last quarter of the match.
The visitors took the lead when Pascal Gross header sent Guglielmo Vicario the wrong way after Micky van der Ven had brought down Danny Welbeck in the box.
Although Tottenham were mostly in possession, they lacked the final ball, so were a little unlucky when, just after the hour, Pape Matar Sarr saw his shot deflected onto the post by Lewis Dunk, then managed to divert the deflected ball into the goal.
Son came onto the pitch after the goal and brought plenty of positive energy with him, but Brighton looked like they were going to hold on to a point before he broke down the left in the last minute of stoppage time and crossed for Brennan Johnson, who hit the post with a long ball.
Spurs are currently in fourth place ahead of Aston Villa, who play Manchester United on Sunday. Brighton are eighth.
TOTTENHAM WILL NEVER WIN THE LEAGUE:
Legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has declared that Tottenham will never win the Premier League.
Ange Postecoglou has received a lot of praise for the job he has done since he was appointed Tottenham manager in the summer after leaving Celtic.
Spurs, who were top of the standings in October, are currently in fourth place but Ferguson believes they will never win the title.
Tottenham last won the 1960-61 season under Bill Nicholson.
Ferguson won 13 times as United manager before retiring in 2013 after a distinguished career.
Asked by Matt Chapman of Sky Sports Racing whether Tottenham would ever win the Premier League again, Ferguson replied, “No,” then laughed.
Ferguson continued, “The last time they won it was 1961. That’s a long time. Today, with Liverpool and Man City so strong in the Premier League, it’s the same.
The 82-year-old was interviewed at Newbury Racecourse, where his horse Protectorate finished third in the Betfair Denman Chase.
When Chapman suggested that Tottenham had a better chance of winning the league than United, Ferguson said: “Not a chance”.
Ferguson once said, “Lads, this is Tottenham,” when taking on the north London club at home.
Tottenham beat Brighton 2-1 at home on Saturday, with Brennan Johnson scoring a late equaliser.
