Rutter's stoppage-time goal prevents Spurs from leaving relegation zone
Georginio Rutter's stoppage-time strike prevented Tottenham Hotspur from ending their winless run against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Roberto De Zerbi's team looked much improved against the Italian's former club with a bright start to the game.
However, the Seagulls grew into the match as the first half continued and Micky van de Ven got about as lucky as a defender can be when his own clearance bounced off his own post and managed to avoid going in when it then deflected back off him.
Just as Brighton were improving, Spurs took the lead. Xavi Simons chipped in a ball that Bart Verbruggen was nowhere near collecting, allowing Pedro Porro to head into an empty net.
The visitors levelled the score in stoppage time of the first half when Pascal Gross put a cross from deep to find Kaoru Mitoma, who had come on for the injured Diego Gómez earlier in the game. The winger met Gross's ball perfectly and volleyed into the roof of the net.
