Chris Hughton Credits Brighton's Fight But Hints 'Clinical' Spurs Deserved Victory

Brighton manager Chris Hughton cut a frustrated figure after his side's defeat to Spurs on Saturday evening. Hughton may have felt before the game that the visitors, under intense pressure coming into the game off a three-game losing streak, were there for the taking at the Amex.

Harry Kane gave the visitors the lead from the penalty spot after striker Glenn Murray was judged to have handled Kieran Trippier's free kick late in the first half. With Brighton growing into the game in the second half, substitute Erik Lamela swept home from Danny Rose's cross to double his side's advantage.
