Tottenham Hotspur: Time running out for Spurs in Premier League relegation fight after Brighton draw
新聞連結
From ecstasy to agony in under 20 minutes.
The emotional rollercoaster experienced by Tottenham Hotspur fans in the closing stages of Saturday's draw with Brighton likely hinted at what is yet to come.
Xavi Simons had led his team-mates in joyous celebration, the Spurs supporters joining in a collective release of pent-up emotion, after the 22-year-old's wonderful strike put Roberto de Zerbi's side on course for a first Premier League win since 28 December.
But those scenes proved premature when, in the fifth minute of eight added for stoppage time, Brighton's Georginio Rutter delivered a devastating sucker-punch.
It left Spurs still one point adrift of safety with just five games remaining - a situation which could worsen with relegation rivals Nottingham Forest and West Ham yet to play - increasing their fears of a first top-flight relegation since 1977.
"It's like a defeat because we conceded a goal in extra time, but we played a great game," Tottenham head coach De Zerbi told BBC Sport.
"It's tough to accept. We have to be stronger than this moment we are going through. We have to move on and prepare for the next game."
Former Spurs striker Les Ferdinand told Sky Sports: "If that was the 90th minute I could understand it, but there was a lot of football still to be played.
"The reaction should be to keep it tight, instead they jumped into the crowd."
But ex-Premier League defender Ashley Williams told BBC Sport he had "no issue" with Spurs' celebrations.
"The goal was so important at that point in time. I know there were still minutes to be played, but with the reaction and the emotion you could see what it meant to the players," Williams said.

Racing driver Juha Miettinen has died after a seven-car crash during the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) qualifiers in Germany on Saturday.
The race was initially halted by a red flag before it was eventually suspended an hour later once the severity of the the multi-car collision became apparent.
Organisers said the race, which had earned extra attention due to the participation of Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen, would not resume on Saturday evening.
"Following the collision between several vehicles, race control immediately halted the race to allow for extensive recovery and rescue operations," the race organiser said in a statement.
"Despite the immediate arrival of emergency services, the emergency medics were unable to save the driver involved after he had been extracted from the vehicle. The driver died at the medical centre after all attempts at resuscitation proved unsuccessful."
The statement added that six other drivers were taken to hospital for examination but none of the injured were in a life-threatening condition.
Four-time Formula 1 champion Verstappen, who is due to participate in the 24-hour endurance race in May, sent his condolences on social media.
"Shocked by what's happened today," Verstappen wrote on social media.
"Motorsport is something we all love, but in times like this it is a reminder of how dangerous it can be.
"Sending my heartfelt condolences to Juha's family and loved ones."
A minute's silence will be held in memory of Miettinen during the grid formation for Sunday's race.
Iceland 0-1 England: How Hannah Hampton's heroics bailed out Lionesses

Hampton's performance was not a clean one as she fumbled several crosses and was not convincing on set-pieces.
She almost dropped the ball into the path of Sveindis Jonsdottir late on too, but rescued it just in time to spare her blushes.
Hampton's form has been patchy of late for Chelsea, but like all world-class players she delivers when it really matters.
She did it against Spain on Tuesday, as England held on to a significant 1-0 win in part thanks to her acrobatic save, denying Edna Imade late on.
At Wembley, her predecessor Mary Earps was being celebrated for her Lionesses career before kick-off, but Hampton has taken her gloves seamlessly, shining at Euro 2025 and now impressing as England look to seal their spot in next year's World Cup.
Despite the spotlight, Hampton was humble at full-time in Iceland, joking about the simplicity of the game and her role within it.
"Alessia [Russo] puts the ball in one end and I stop it going in at the other. It's a simple game when you break it down," she told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"I am just glad I get to be involved. It means I don't freeze to death! I'm always willing to put my body on the line."
But there was no downplaying by England manager Sarina Wiegman, who said Hampton's saves against Iceland were "crucial" to securing the victory.
"It is always a team effort and a team performance but it's really nice to have a goalkeeper that stops the ball going in - especially when it's really hard for the team and they are struggling," added Wiegman.
"That's called teamwork. She showed again that she is a world-class goalkeeper."
Arsenal striker Russo added: "She was amazing. Big moments kept us in it and she showed up three or four times to get us the three points.
"Sometimes you need someone to step up like that."
Arsenal: Supporters are nervy but Arteta looking to use 'vitamin' for tension

If there was a "vitamin" to cure tension, surely Arsenal players would take it.
The Gunners face Manchester City on Sunday in a top-of-the-table match which could define their season - and potentially Mikel Arteta's time in charge of the club.
His side are six points clear at the top of the Premier League, but despite reaching the Champions League semi-finals, have won just one of their past five matches in all competitions.
The Arsenal manager has previously spoken about his and the fans' "willingness to win", and that desperation from supporters to see success has led to some tense moments, particularly at home.
Before the defeat by Bournemouth, in Arteta's rallying cry to supporters he urged them to "bring your lunch, bring your dinner", external and added "let's all go together".
The Gunners were booed off after the 2-1 defeat by the Cherries, and because of the high stakes of the match with Sporting in the Champions League quarter-final four days later, understandably there were some nervy moments.
In Sunday's high-stakes match Arteta is trying to prevent that tension from seeping on to the pitch.
"That has to be the vitamin for everybody," he said.
"In whatever we do, that is going to elevate us to be better, to drive us to be better. To have more hunger and desire to do it than in a negative way."
But will fan tension and the high stakes of the title run-in play a part in the Gunners' success?
World Snooker Championship: Zhao Xintong beats Liam Highfield in first round at Crucible

"It was very difficult for me and there's a lot of pressure, but it's good for me and this is a big moment in this season," said Zhao.
"I just tried to control myself but I didn't do it very well and hopefully in the next round I can do a lot better."
Highfield, who has lost in the first round on four occasions, said: "He played great in the first half of the second session and that took a bit of wind out of my sails.
"You don't play at the Crucible every day. I've only ever played four matches here in my life and the pressure gets on you and there's a big crowd.
"It's always great to be here. It is an amazing place to play and every time you play here you cherish it.
"But I'm proud of myself to be here from where I was a year ago when I was trying to get back on the tour.
"At times I thought he looked edgy and I got him on the ropes, and I let him off and he will punish you because he is that good."
Northern Ireland's former world number one Mark Allen is 3-5 behind against China's Zhang Anda, with their second session to come on Sunday morning.
Three-time champion Mark Williams secured a 6-3 lead over 22-year-old Antoni Kowalski, the world number 69 and the first player from Poland to play at the venue.
Before play started BBC presenter Hazel Irvine said Virgo was "universally loved by everyone in this sport and beyond - he really was the voice of snooker".
On Thursday there was a memorial service for Virgo in his home city at Sheffield Cathedral, a short walk from the Crucible.
"The cathedral was packed and we gave John a wonderful send-off as he was a very special man," 1985 world champion Dennis Taylor told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"I knew him for more than 50 years and he was a great all-round entertainer. There's a big gap here in the Crucible this year with John not being with us."
Newcastle: Eddie Howe's biggest Newcastle challenge yet? Can he survive?

Rare extended periods on the training pitches are not yielding an improvement in results after a relentless schedule finally eased.
Howe again based his team selection on what he had seen during the week as he named Newcastle's youngest starting XI in a Premier League game since 2005 with an average age of 24 years 191 days.
Although captain Bruno Guimaraes would have started if he was fit enough after recovering from illness and injury, it was still striking that not a single member of Howe's leadership group lined up from the off after Nick Pope, Dan Burn, Trippier and Jacob Murphy were named among the substitutes.
A whopping £124m worth of forwards in Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa also had to make do with places on the bench.
William Osula once again justified that call with his second goal in two games, but Newcastle are an increasingly blunt side lacking aggression, quality and ideas.
They are also leaky at the back - and that is a dangerous combination for all the wrong reasons.
It said it all that even after Newcastle equalised through Osula midway through the second half, Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola told his players "not to panic" from the touchline.
He knew there was still time for another twist as Truffert hooked the ball into the roof of the net late on.
Truffert was one of a series of smart signings Bournemouth made last summer as the club rebuilt superbly following the sales of Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez, Illia Zabarnyi and others.
Newcastle, by contrast, are still reeling from a poor window.
Not only are Newcastle failing to see much of a return from a £100m-plus net recruitment drive that Howe was heavily involved in.
Newcastle are still searching for a lasting solution after striker Alexander Isak pushed to join Liverpool last summer.
Over the course of a draining season, Howe has pivoted from Woltemade to Wissa to Anthony Gordon and now Osula, who came mightily close to joining Eintracht Frankfurt on deadline day last September.
It sums up Howe's desperate search for a formula as his future comes under increasing scrutiny.
"It's disappointing when you are not delivering for your supporters," he said.
"That is the ultimate disappointment when you feel you are letting people down who come here and support us.
"If they are critical of us, we have to accept that as that's the game we are in."
