Spurs comes from behind to beat Brighton

Kane followed up his own shot to equalise in the 53rd minute and cancel out Adam Webster’s first half header. Alli then put Spurs ahead in the 72nd minute, knocking in a pass from Serge Aurier to complete a move inspired by substitute Christian Eriksen.

Spurs was reeling from a disheartening 0-2 home loss to Chelsea and a sleepy atmosphere gripped its stadium early in the game, which was briefly lifted when Kane put the ball in the net before a VAR review ruled the effort offside.

Brighton, which had thrashed Spurs 3-0 in October in one of the final games under Mourinho’s predecessor Mauricio Pochettino, went ahead when defender Webster headed in a Pascal Gross free-kick in the 37th minute.

Mourinho left club record signing Tanguy Ndombele out of the squad but brought on Giovani Lo Celso and Eriksen after Kane’s leveller. The move paid off as Eriksen foxed Brighton’s defence with a cross-field pass, which Aurier flicked to Alli.

Goals from Michael Obafemi and Nathan Redmond earned Southampton a surprise 2-0 win at Chelsea.

Obafemi broke the deadlock with his first goal of the season, bursting inside from the right and curling into the top corner after a tight opening half hour. Saints winger Redmond was denied by Kepa Arrizabalaga on the break, but coolly finished for the visitor’s second after an impressive team move.

A second half equaliser from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave Mikel Arteta a point in his first game as Arsenal manager as his side came back from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Bournemouth. Carlo Ancelotti enjoyed a winning start as Everton boss as an 80th-minute Dominic Calvert-Lewin header earned the Merseyside-based team a 1-0 win over Burnley at Goodison Park.
