Tottenham were two goals up, and had everything under control after the first half, but then conceded three in the second for a 3-2 loss
Tottenham Hotspur coach Ange Postecoglou couldn't get his head around after the final whistle on Sunday night, as he was unable to comprehend how his team had managed to lose against Brighton after a 2-0 lead.
"It's a terrible loss for us - as bad as it gets," said the Australian gaffer.
He was in a much better mood after Brennan Johnson made the most of Solanke's through ball in the 23rd minute.
Tottenham are the first side in Premier League history to lose 10 games after leading by 2+ goals.

Danny Welbeck had a chance to level the score, but the ball slid just past the post before the Spurs doubled their lead through James Maddison. The England international netted even before, but that one was voided after a VAR decision.
However, the second one stood, and it seemed that the game was wrapped up those few minutes before the half-time interval.
Alas, the home team had different plans.

The Seagulls pulled one back early in the second half, after Udogie couldn't clear the ball from Mitoma's cross and Yankuba Minteh capitalized to grab his first goal for Brighton.
The stubborn Mitoma was back in action for the equalizer in the 58th minute, passing it to Rutter, who was able to create space away from Micky van de Ven and then shoot low past Vicario.
Finally, former Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck stepped up for the win, as Rutter slid in near the byeline to get a cross in, which the former converted with a header to score what proved to be the winner.
