Tottenham Hotspur avoided a blow to their top-four hopes as Christian Eriksen struck a late winner to give Spurs a win over a resilient Brighton and Hove Albion side.
The first half played out exactly as many had expected, as Spurs dominated possession in their search for an opener. However, they came up against a Brighton side who were desperate to preserve their clean sheet, as Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk completely dominated proceedings from the back. Spurs simply could not find a way through before the break.
The same trend continued into the second half, as Spurs resorted to countless speculative efforts from range which rarely threatened Mathew Ryan.
