Graham Potter Brighton
Leandro Trossard struck in the 90th minute to secure a 1-0 success. The three points were the first Albion have secured away to Tottenham in the Premier League era. Albion won at Arsenal last week but head coach
Graham Potter said: “I thought the performance was a step up. The players were incredible. Work rate and understanding and discipline and aggression and quality, everything you need. It felt like we had a good organisation and then an attitude to just run and defend and then be brave when we had the ball as well. I thought we asked some questions of Spurs. It wasn’t like a smash and grab game. We tried to press high, we tried to win the ball back, we tried to construct our attacks. We are playing against a lot of world class players and a team that is in a great moment.”
Albion have bounced back from a run of one point and one goal in seven games to set a club record for away wins in a top-flight season.
Graham Potter said: “We knew we had to be good and we were today. You can see historically how difficult it is for Brighton and Hove Albion to win at Spurs. It’s a great day for the club. Three points, clean sheet, 40 points with six games to go. It’s not so bad considering it was Armageddon three games ago!”
