The manager praised his players' attitude after their victory at the Amex Stadium and said he was happy for Erik Lamela to get on the score sheet.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino insisted he never doubts Harry Kane, labelling the forward a "special player".
Kane had gone five matches without a goal for club and country before opening the scoring from the penalty spot in Spurs' 2-1 win over Brighton on Saturday.
The England international, who has been prolific in recent seasons and won the Golden Boot at the World Cup with six strikes, took his tally to three this campaign.
