Tottenham full time ratings vs Brighton – 4/10 for tired full-back

The final whistle has just been blown on the final match of the Premier League season between Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton and Hove Albion, and it is time for our full-time ratings.

Tottenham Hotspur’s 2024/25 season comes to a close with a dismal 4-1 defeat against Brighton and Hove Albion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a result that sees the Lilywhites finish in 17th place, on 38 points after suffering a staggering 22 defeats – their most ever in a single Premier League campaign.

Despite the woeful League form, most Tottenham fans would not be losing sleep over it, especially after the club finally ended their 17-year trophy drought with Europa League glory on Wednesday, May 21.

Let’s take a look at our Tottenham player ratings from the defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:

Tottenham player ratings vs Brighton

Guglielmo Vicario – Brighton did score four goals in the second half, but little of the blame would be on Vicario, who could do little to prevent the goals. The Italian also made a couple of fine saves throughout the second half. 5.

Pedro Porro – It was a tired second half display from Tottenham who let a one goal lead slip from their grasp. Porro was energetic in the first half, but fatigue did set in during the second forty-five. 5.

Kevin Danso – Danso was solid at the back in this tie, blocking shots and winning defensive headers each time Brighton looked to put the ball in the box. But it was not enough to prevent Tottenham from collasping in the second half. The ball ricocheted off his leg from a corner for the second Brighton goal of the day. Unlucky. 5.

Micky van de Ven – The Dutchman had a few solid defensive actions and recoveries in both halves, but was still part of the defence that struggled to deal with corners throughout the game. He was subbed off later on for Ben Davies. 5.

Destiny Udogie – Although he held his own against Simon Adingra, the Italian full-back struggled in the second half against Yankuba Minteh, whose pace proved too much to handle. 4.

Rodrigo Bentancur – Bentancur was solid, particularly defensively, in the opening forty-five; however, as the game went on, his influence reduced and he was subbed off for Yves Bissouma. 5.

Archie Gray – Gray looked very impressive in the first half, but when Brighton upped the ante, he did not affect proceedings as much as Tottenham would have wanted. 5.

Pape Matar Sarr – Did not feature in the second half, as he was subbed off for Wilson Odobert at half-time. 5.

Brennan Johnson – Johnson spent most of this clash defending his own box, but he did have a chance in the 55th minute of the second half after he met a Mathys Tel cutback, only for him to shoot wide.. 5.

Dominic Solanke – A quiet half for the Englishman who has now finished his first season at Tottenham with 10 goals in the Premier League after slotting in from the spot in the first half. 5.

Mathys Tel – The young Frenchman picked up from where he left off in the first half, where he was a constant threat on the left, with the forward not scared to take on his man. He went on a long run once more in the second forty-five, putting in a lovely cutback into the box, but Johnson missed the target. 7.

Substitutes

Wilson Odobert – Came on after half-time, but it was poor from the midfielder who was used as a ten. He did not have any effect on the game. 4.

Richarlison – Richarlison came in for Solanke in the second half, but the Brazilian had no chance to threaten the Brighton defence, with Tottenham spending most of the second forty-five defending their own box. N/A.

Ben Davies – Davies was the one who replaced Micky van de Ven in the second half. The Welshman might have played his final game in a Tottenham shirt. N/A.

Yves Bissouma – Bissouma was the one who came on for a tired Bentancur, the Malian went straight into that pivot role, and gave away a penalty in the 86th minute after putting in a tired tackle on Diego Gomez. 3.

Djed Spence – Spence replaced Tel late in the second half and finished the game as the left winger. N/A.
