Tottenham threw away what looked set to be a solid win over Inter Milan on Tuesday after conceding two late goals, thus slipping to their third successive defeat in all competitions. Things later escalated as boss Mauricio Pochettino hit out at the media for questioning his decision to leave out Kieran Trippier and Toby Alderweireld. Now sitting sixth in the league, Spurs will be looking to get their season back on track against Brighton, who have only won one league game this season.
