Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion
The full-time whistle blows at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Brighton thrash Tottenham 4-1 on the final day of the Premier League season. A first-half Solanke penalty gave the home side the lead after Tel was brought down in the penalty area by Wieffer. The Seagulls came out in the second half with intent and soon equalised through Hinshelwood, who fired into the roof of Vicario's net. The visitors soon took the lead through Hinshelwood after a nice backheel past the hapless Vicario. It got worse for the Lilywhites as O'Riley dispatched an 88th-minute penalty before Gomez added the cherry on the cake with a stunning curling effort from outside the box. The result sees Brighton finish the season in eighth place, however, they fail to qualify for Europe next season as Chelsea secured a top five finish after their 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. For Spurs, the Europa League winners finish the season in 17th place with 22 league defeats. Postecoglou's men created a host of chances and this was reflected through an xG of 1.97, whereas Hurzeler's side were clinical in the final third, which was highlighted through an xG of 2.27. Thank you for reading and take care!
