Substituted in the 76th minute of the match, Swedish national team midfielder Lucas Bergvall showed his mettle immediately. Just a minute later, he broke the ball into the attacking half and played it 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 was 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.
In the battle for Champions League places, Manchester United beat Chelsea 1-0. Matheus Cunha scored the only goal of the match.
