Spurs werent great. Albion pushed them hard for large stretches of the match.
I would still say that on the balance Spurs winning was a fair result.
In what Universe that was a Penalty for Kane?
In what Universe that wasnt a foul in the buildup to Albion's goal I cant even imagine.
If it was 1-0 match with a Bale winner in the dying minutes we'd all be moving along with our day. Not a strong showing by Spurs, but a result.
Part of me wants to say that they'd better have the VAR guys unscrew their heads from their asses...but I'm a cynic so I acknowledge that this season is going to be one long crapshoot.

I guess I mostly agree. I thought the Kane PK was questionable. It was a foul, but I don’t know that he was in the box.
Like you say, I do think the result wasn’t that bad when it was all said and done, but Brighton did play well for a large piece of the game. Lamptey looks like a good young player. It doesn’t reflect well on VAR when you have 1/3 goals that are actually legitimate though.
I think they need to mix these refs up. They should have to explain what they’re seeing and why they’re making a particular call or not because these are impactful decisions we’re talking about.
