Spurs accused of sloppy display
Tottenham were held to a 1-1 draw at Brighton giving fresh hope to Chelsea in the battle for a Premier League top-four finish.
A tame encounter sprung to life early in the second half when England forward Harry Kane fired Tottenham ahead with his 26th league goal of the season, but the advantage was short-lived as Brighton won a penalty within seconds of the restart.
Spurs full back Serge Aurier clipped the heels of Jose Izquierdo and Pascal Gross managed to squeeze his spot-kick past keeper Hugo Lloris to the relief of the home fans.
The draw left fourth-placed Tottenham eight points clear of Chelsea in fifth, but last season's champions have a game in hand in the battle to secure Champions League qualification.
Tottenham made a raft of changes to their team ahead of Saturday's FA Cup semi-final with Manchester United at Wembley but manager Mauricio Pochettino was not making excuses.
"Today was not because we rotated the team," he said. "Everyone is ready to play but Brighton were very difficult opponents and we need to give credit to them."
