Tottenham Hotspur faced Brighton & Hove Albion in a tense match that ended in a 2-2 draw, marking their fifth consecutive game without a win. This situation puts Spurs perilously close to relegation, a scenario they have not encountered in almost half a century. The match saw the return of key players, including Rodrigo Bentancur, who started for the first time since undergoing hamstring surgery in January, and James Maddison, who made his comeback after a serious knee injury.
