The victory lifted the Seagulls to ninth in the league and within a point of the European qualification places.
Next up is a trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where they will face former boss Roberto De Zerbi. Spurs find themselves 18th and two points from safety following defeat at Sunderland.
A win on the road could propel Albion as high as sixth should results go in their favour over the weekend.
Here are five reasons why Albion may come back to haunt the Italian this Saturday.
Two teams in completely contrasting form
Albion arrive in outstanding form, having won five of their last six Premier League games, keeping three clean sheets in that time.
By contrast, Spurs are winless in their last 14 and in 2026, with their last clean sheet coming on New Year’s Day.
With momentum so heavily in Albion’s favour, Spurs fan Will Witts the gap in confidence and quality can see Albion take the three points.
Albion’s head-to-head dominance
Albion have grown increasingly comfortable in this fixture.
Brighton have got the better of Spurs in three of their last five attempts. In fact, you have to go back to 2024 for Tottenham’s last win against Albion.
If recent history is anything to go by, Albion have the upper hand heading into Saturday’s clash.
Brighton’s forward firepower can terrorise Tottenham’s leaky defence
It’s the sort of fixture Albion’s attacking players must be licking their lips at.
Danny Welbeck is enjoying a Premier League season’s best with 12 goals so far. Fabian Hurzeler’s wingers Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh and Diego Gomez have also chipped in a combined nine league goals.
Given that Spurs have shipped three goals in their last three home league matches, it seems unlikely that one of these names won’t find themselves on the scoresheet this weekend.
De Zerbi’s worrying start at Brighton
Roberto De Zerbi is no stranger to slow beginnings.
De Zerbi saw his Albion team go winless in their first five games after taking over from Graham Potter. It took several months before his ideas and methods transcended into consistent results.
With Spurs already losing their first game under him, there are concerns that history may be repeating itself – something the Seagulls will hope to exploit.
Tottenham’s injury crisis
Cristian Romero compounded Tottenham fans’ misery against Sunderland as he collided with his goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, and came off in tears with injury.
He joins a long list of Spurs absentees with Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Ben Davies and Wilson Odobert all long-term omissions. Guglielmo Vicario and Rodrigo Bentancur are both closer to a return, yet still doubtful for Saturday.
With such a depleted squad, Tottenham look vulnerable, and Albion have the tools to capitalise.
