Tottenham 2-0 Brighton: Serge Aurier's bizarre opener sets Mauricio Pochettino's side on way four

Tottenham were a goal ahead midway through the second-half when they decided to engage in an exercise of keep-ball. As the ball moved backwards to the half-way line once more, a familiar sense of distress overcame Tottenham's supporters inside this ground. In a rare moment of dissent towards Mauricio Pochettino, the Tottenham fans grunted and growled, anguished by their side's slow tempo. This past week may have brought three victories in seven days at Wembley but a sense of their belonging still eludes Tottenham's players and supporters. Instead, the confident football we associate with Pochettino's side often gives way to apprehension.
