Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Tottenham: Lacklustre Spurs pegged back by Gross penalty

Tottenham got their FA Cup semi-final preparation to a bad start after they could only manage a 1-1 at Brighton.

Mauricio Pochettino's men went into the game off the back of a disappointing 3-1 defeat at home to Manchester City and they struggled to play with their usual zip at the Amex Stadium against the resolute hosts.

However, Harry Kane gave Spurs an early second-half lead, crashing the ball into the net after superb determination from Heung-min Son to keep the ball in.

But that lead would only last a matter of moments as a clumsy Serge Aurier tackle on Jose Izquierdo handed Brighton a penalty, which Pascal Gross tucked away.
