Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker in total agreement over one Tottenham star vs Brighton
Tottenham have already shown immense character this season under Thomas Frank.
Last term, the Lilywhites crumbled at the Amex Stadium under Ange Postecoglou, surrendering a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2.
However, Spurs fought valiantly to secure a point against Brighton on Saturday, rescuing a 2-2 draw despite going two goals down.
While there were several encouraging performances on the South Coast, Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker agreed over one player’s showing.
Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker heap praise on Mohammed Kudus
Tottenham avoided a third straight away defeat to Brighton, a fixture that has been a problem over the last few years.

One man who stood out against the Seagulls was Kudus, who was involved in both of the Lilywhites’ goals on the South Coast.
The Ghana international’s blocked shot was turned in by Richarlison before his cross was turned in by Jan Paul van Hecke.
Fabian Hurzeler’s men gave Kudus far too much freedom on the right throughout the game; hence, he had such an influence on the result.
Indeed, Shearer and Lineker were in awe of the winger when discussing the result on The Rest Is Football.
“Kudus done really well again, I thought,” Shearer said on 22 September.
Lineker replied: “Looked really good, didn’t he?”
Shearer: “I thought he was a real threat. He was a real threat, wasn’t he? Yeah, 2-0 down, you’re always going to take 2-2, aren’t you? But I thought they were worthy of a point, and Thomas Frank’s made a really good start, hasn’t he?”
Mohammed shows that class is permanent for Tottenham
Kudus may have yet to score a Spurs goal, but he has already demonstrated that he is worth the £55million outlay from West Ham.
During his first season at the London Stadium, the 25-year-old was irresistible and was rightly lauded for his performances.
However, last term, the Ghanaian failed to deliver the same impact, with many concerned that he could not sustain his high levels.
In truth, the winger was probably unsettled in East London and desperate to move, given his team’s plight and the mounting interest in his services.
While it is early days, Kudus has been consistent and influential for Tottenham, already bagging four assists in the Premier League.
Come the end of the campaign, the 25-year-old could be a contender for signing of the season.
