Brighton produced a stunning second-half comeback as they scored three goals in 18 minutes to come from 2-0 down to beat Tottenham 3-2 at the Amex Stadium.
Spurs were in total control at half-time thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson, who scored for a sixth straight game, and James Maddison.
But Ange Postecoglou's side suffered a shocking collapse sparked by Yankuba Minteh's goal just three minutes into the second half as he pounced on Destiny Udogie's mistake.
Rocked by the goal, Brighton sensed Spurs' loss of confidence and found a leveller 10 minutes later through Georginio Rutter's low finish.
The comeback was then complete in the 66th minute as more poor Spurs defending allowed Danny Welbeck to head home.
The shocked visitors failed to recover from going behind, mustering just one shot on target as Tottenham suffered their first defeat in six games to leave the north London side ninth and three points off the top four heading into the October international break.
Brighton meanwhile end their four-game winless run to move sixth and two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
