Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou described his team's second-half collapse in the 3-2 loss at Brighton as “unacceptable” and “as bad as it gets.” Spurs conceded three goals in an 18-minute span soon after halftime in a meltdown that might be familiar to the club's fans.

Tottenham Hotspur's second-half capitulation to lose 3-2 at Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League was as bad as it gets, dumbfounded manager Ange Postecoglou said on Sunday.

Brightoncynic: Fabulous comeback that showed the players can perform as a team. It could have been 4-4 at half-time and 6-6 at the end. Both teams looked like they could concede at any point, but Georgino Rutter's battling, never-quit physicality was what won it. Brilliant.
