‘We will not stop fighting’ – Tottenham fans will love Xavi Simons’ defiant message

Tottenham Hotspur fans will love what Xavi Simons has said after they suffered heartbreak late on against Brighton.

Even though Tottenham went into the game languishing in the relegation zone and two points adrift of safety, one would not have been able to decipher that from the atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Spurs fans got behind their side, and the players responded, playing with confidence and showing plenty of attacking intent.

However, lapses at the back cost the Lilywhites two points, with Brighton coming back to level twice, once each in injury time at the end of each half to break Tottenham hearts.

Xavi Simons says Tottenham players will keep fighting until the end

Xavi was the architect of Tottenham’s opener, finding Pedro Porro with a sensational aerial through ball, which the right-back headed into the back of the net.

The Dutchman then took matters into his own hands for the home side’s second, unleashing a brilliant curled effort, which went in off the post, which was followed by wild celebrations near the South Stand.

The 22-year-old was distraught when the Seagulls equalised late on, but he has now taken to social media to make it clear that he and his teammates are ready to keep fighting to move themselves out of the bottom three.

Xavi wrote on X: “We will NOT stop fighting. Crowd was amazing today. COYS.”

Huge pressure on Spurs ahead of their clash against Wolves

While the performance against Brighton will please Tottenham fans, the reality is that it is about results rather than performances at this stage of the season.

Opta’s Supercomputer has said that Spurs are now the big favourites to go down, and with just five matches left, the pressure is now really mounting on the Lilywhites.

Their clash at the Molineux Stadium is now a must-win game, as anything other than three points next Saturday will make survival extremely difficult for De Zerbi’s men.
