Djed Spence who has come on in the 76th minute, now, he's done well he's closed down [his man]."He can't pull out [of the press] he's got to keep going and he's unlucky.



You've got to sprint back."He's walking. Then you've got you two young midfield players, we highlighted them in the Sunderland game, they didn't start this game."But they understand football, they're clever those two young lads [Bergvall and Gray].

Now, the situation here, Porro leaves his man, but Paulinha now ends up at right-back.Djed Spence in action for Spurs against Brighton (Image: Getty)"We're going to keep an eye on Djed Spence here, it comes into Danso and everyone is talking about his mistake, but he [Spence] starts walking, then walks again because he thinks Danso has got the ball."Your two midfield players are filling in for him at left-back, leaving their slot in midfield and that's where Rutter scores the goal. Brilliant finish on that left foot, but it's an absolute body blow for them."You can see the reaction from them, but listen there was a lot of positives to take from it for Tottenham in terms of how they went about it and how they played. [De Zerbi] won't feel that right now."Spurs return to action this weekend when they face Wolves, whose relegation has now been confirmed.
