England's 'BBC' is 'Tottenham lost 15 games behind by more than two goals. This suggests the possibility of a change in the team's mindset under Thomas Frank. Coach Frank was also satisfied.
He said "I think this is our best game of the season. As a result, if there had to be a winner, it was us. There were many crosses into the box, and there were close chances, but there were also many missed opportunities. We were strong physically and mentally, and we wanted to achieve something. That will was really important" he said.
Danny Murphy, from Tottenham, said on the BBC"Tottenham was outstanding in many ways. The coach wants to see the players take responsibility. The players still pressed their opponents in the box, were gritty enough to catch the ball," he praised "It was systematically well-organized, it was not chaotic, it was really well-made."
And "Tottenham was in good shape and organized well. They were constantly attacking, allowing few chances for Brighton to score, which is difficult in a situation where they put a player forward. They were rewarded and deserved to win," he added.
