Tottenham half-time player ratings vs Brighton
Guglielmo Vicario – The Italian shot stopper has carried on from where he left off in the final in this encounter. His passing has been crisp and sharp, helping Tottenham in the build-up phase of things. 7.
Pedro Porro – Porro has been part of the Spurs defence that has kept things tight at the back against Brighton in the first half. The Spanish full-back nearly got an assist when Tottenham had a counter-attack late in the first half, but Tel could not convert. 7.

Kevin Danso – We expected to see one of Romero or Davies in defence, but Postecoglou opted for Danso, and the centre-back has been solid alongside Van de Ven. He has been dealing with the crosses played into the box by the Seagulls. 7.
Micky van de Ven – Has looked quick and agile in the opening forty-five, had a good chance to get his head on a cross from a corner but missed the ball by an inch. 7.
Destiny Udogie – The Italian full-back has held his own well against Adingra in the opening forty-five in what has become a performance we have become accustomed to in recent weeks. 7.
Rodrigo Bentancur – Bentancur has been just as industrious in the centre of the pitch, with the midfielder being solid when Spurs are defending. 7.
Archie Gray – Gray has got a chance to feature in midfield once more, and this has been one of his best performances in the middle of the pitch for Spurs. He has won the ball well in the midfield, while also keeping possession. 7.5.
Pape Matar Sarr – Tottenham’s midfield has looked a lot more robust than Brighton and that is because of how hardworking the players have been and Sarr has played a big role in that. 6.
Brennan Johnson – Johnson has had a quiet first half, as Tottenham have looked to attack a lot more on the left hand side. He has looked to track back when Spurs have needed to defend. 6.
Dominic Solanke – Chances have been few and far between for Solanke, but the forward was cool from the spot, slotting in emphatically to give Tottenham a one goal lead. 6.5
