LONDON, April 19 -- Roberto De Zerbi has five games to save Tottenham from the unthinkable nightmare of relegation from the Premier League after his first home game at the helm ended in a costly 2-2 draw against Brighton.

The London club took the lead through Pedro Porro but were pegged back by a Kaoru Mitoma wonder goal on the stroke of half-time.

Both teams had chances after the break but the impressive Xavi Simons put the home side back in front with a dazzling strike in the 77th minute as the stadium erupted.

Long-suffering Tottenham fans dared to believe their team could hold out for a first league win since December but their hopes were cruelly dashed deep into stoppage time when Georginio Rutter drilled home.
