Tottenham wait for win continues

A wonder strike from Xavi Simons had appeared to secure a much-needed victory for the hosts before the late defensive lapse.

De Zerbi expressed frustration with the result but insisted he saw enough improvement to believe the team can still avoid the drop.

The draw leaves Tottenham in a precarious position with only five games remaining to secure their top-flight status.

Brighton's resilience continues to keep them in the hunt for a European berth, while Spurs fans voiced their growing anxiety at the final whistle.
