02.04.1983 Graham Roberts' goal was not enough to stave off the Brighton side, who won at the Goldstone ground with goals from Steve Gatting and Gerry Ryan.

Despite being bottom of the table, the Seagulls won the match in the last fine minutes after going a goal down.  Without Glenn Hoddle, Tottenham still scored from a free kick when Steve Archibald rolled the ball behind him for Graham Roberts to hit a 25 yard shot along the floor past Graham Moseley in the Brighton goal.

Tottenham should have gone 2-0 ahead with a good shooting opportunity in the first half put wide by Galvin and then Brazil striking a shot from six yards against the bar after a quickly taken free-kick released Galvin to set him up.  Falco also had a good header from a Galvin cross touched round the post by Moseley.

As it was referee Vic Callow reduced the game to 10-a-side when first Chris Ramsey and then Tony Galvin both committed two bookable offences and were dismissed.  The sending offs helped Brighton who scored very soon after Galvin departed with Steve Gatting cutting in to score past Clemence with the outside of his left foot and within a minute, it was 2-1 to the home side, when a header at a Brighton corner was chested off the line by Hughton, but substitute Gerry Ryan was on hand to put a header out of Clemence's reach to seal the win for the Seagulls.

15.04.1978

Brighton were on a good run of form with four wins out of five games coming into the Second Division match at the Goldstone Ground against Spurs.

Top of the table Tottenham brought a big away support for this match with fourth place Brighton with thousands of Spurs fans forcing down the gates to gain entry to the Goldstone Ground and then causing trouble all around the stadium, with the referee stopping the game for fourteen minutes at one point.

Closing down the Spurs midfield, Brighton used their wingers O'Sullivan and Towner to get behind Tottenham, but Clark scored a fine solo goal and the Winstanley placed his volley wide of Daines to double the lead.

Chris Jones' goal could not stop Brighton turning around as 2-1 leaders and they dominated the second half, with substitute Eric Potts putting the game beyond Tottenham's reach with a 72nd minute goal.
