Tottenham’s survival hopes took another hit after a 95th-minute equaliser from Georginio Rutter earned Brighton a dramatic draw, extending Spurs’ winless run and leaving them just one point from safety with five games remaining.
Spurs looked set for a crucial victory when Xavi Simons fired them ahead late on, after earlier goals from Pedro Porro and Kaoru Mitoma had kept the match finely balanced.
But Rutter’s stoppage-time strike snatched the result away, deepening the threat of a first relegation in nearly 50 years.
Despite signs of improvement under Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham’s inability to close out matches continues to leave their Premier League future hanging in the balance.
