Substituted in the 76th minute of the match, Swedish national team midfielder Lucas Bergvall showed his mettle immediately. Just a minute later, he broke into the attacking half and played the ball to Xavi Simons, who scored with a dream strike to make it 2-1.
It was Spurs' first victory since December 28.
But in the 95th minute, the home team were sloppy, and Brighton's Georginio Rutter made it 2-2.
The result means Tottenham remain in 18th place in the English top flight with five games remaining, one point ahead of West Ham, who have a game in hand.
