The 'Spursiness' of this Tottenham team is never to be underestimated | Jonathan Wilson

Ange Postecoglou looked shell-shocked as demons of this side come back to haunt them in a second-half capitulation

If only there were a word for that sort of performance from Tottenham.
At half-time, they were 2-0 up and seemed utterly in control, Dejan
Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson ripping Brighton apart down the right.

They were so dominant that the instinct was to start recalling great
Spurs collapses of the past – 3-0 up against Manchester United in
2001, 3-0 up against 10-man Manchester City in 2004, the leads lost
in the two 5-2 defeats by Arsenal in 2012, 2-0 up against Chelsea in
the Battle of the Bridge in 2016, 3-0 up after 82 minutes against West
Ham in 2020 – if only because it seemed so unlikely something similar
could happen again. But the Spursiness of Spurs is never to be underestimated.
