Transcript
00:00Hello, I'm Sam Morton, reporter for Sussex World. I've just watched Brighton beat Tottenham
00:04Hotspur 3-2 in a sensational comeback victory that did not seem likely at all after the
00:11first half where Spurs took a two-goal lead. With Brendan Johnson and James Maddison getting
00:15the goals, and they could have had a third goal with the chance towards the end of the
00:18first half, you felt that Brighton were still missing something and a little bit suspect
00:22defensively like they were at Stamford Bridge, but they fought back superbly, a couple of
00:27changes at half-time, and they were a completely different team in the second half, with Jan
00:31Cooper-Minter getting on the score sheet, and Jorginho Rutter with a brilliant finish
00:36to make it 2-2, and Danny Welbeck making it 3-2 from Rutter's cross, and it was brilliant
00:42to be there at the Amex, it was an awesome atmosphere, the crowd was wild by the time
00:47the third goal went in, and it was a superb game really, and Brighton really did have
00:51to fight to get back into that game with some brilliant goals, brilliant performances,
00:55Karim Atoma especially took my eye, he was brilliant throughout the game, probably Brighton's
01:02biggest threat I think in that first half, but especially in the second half, he got
01:05an assist and it was his cross that led to the first goal as well, and on another day
01:09he could have got on the score sheet, he looked really back to his best, and it was a nice
01:13link-up play with Pervis Estupinan who came on as a second-half substitute, and great
01:17to see him with a good performance as well, so for all of our player ratings and match
01:21reaction, see sussexworld.co.uk
