Harry Kane and Erik Lamela combined to guide Tottenham to a hard-earned victory over Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.
Match Events
42' Penalty Goal! Brighton 0-1 Tottenham (Kane)
Tottenham have been awarded a penalty as Glenn Murray moves his arm towards the ball as he jumps up in the wall!
Harry Kane does the business.
He smashes it into the left-hand corner and joins Jermain Defoe as the joint-fifth goalscorer for Tottenham with 143.
76' GOAL! Brighton 0-2 Tottenham (Lamela)
Erik Lamela starts the move and finishes it.
He dribbles through the space in the middle, sends the ball out wide to the left and continues his run into the box.
It's played back into his path and he coolly slots it into the back of the net.
93' GOAL! Brighton 1-2 Tottenham (Knockaert)
Anthony Knockaert has space to drive into on the right.
He does and lets rip with his right foot and slots it into the far corner.
Match Events
Harry Kane scored a much-needed goal as a relieved Tottenham ended their three-match losing run with a gritty 2-1 win at Brighton and Hove Albion.
Glenn Murray's handball from a Kieran Trippier free-kick enabled Kane to convert a first-half penalty before Erik Lamela notched late to help Spurs exorcise some of the demons of their late midweek loss to Inter in the Champions League.
Mauricio Pochettino called for his side to show fight in the aftermath of that worrying collapse and, though Anthony Knockaert reduced the deficit in the third minute of added time, he will have been heartened by the resilient response amid grim conditions at Amex Stadium.

If Kane wasn't so selfish then Tottenham would have scored more and Brighton wouldn't have scored.

So its left for Chelsea to try two things tomorrow.. 1: To win 2: Try not to concede any goal ..as both Liverpool and Man City took home 3 points + a clean sheet! This season is getting pretty interesting already

Penalties help players get back to form. Look at Pogba and how Jose gave him penalties. Now Pogba has good confidence and plays better football. Kane will get to form in a similar manner
