Tottenham Hotspur finally ended their horrible losing streak yesterday with a 2-1 win over Brighton in the Premier League on the south coast.
Goals from Harry Kane and Erik Lamela helped put an end to Pochettino’s worst ever run in charge of the Lilywhites.
Spurs had lost to Watford, Liverpool, and Inter Milan in the past few weeks, twice conceding defeat after leading close to full time.
Kane put Spurs ahead in the first half with a stunning penalty strike after Trippier’s free-kick was blocked by the arm of Glenn Murray.
Erik Lamela then doubled Tottenham’s lead with a beautifully controlled shot, swept into the bottom corner with 15 minutes remaining on the clock after a pin-point cross from MOTM Danny Rose.
Things were far from easy however, as Knockaert pulled one back two minutes into injury time, and then missed a good chance to equalise just one minute later.
Spurs took home the three points, which sees them move clear of Manchester United, who drew to Wolves, and Arsenal, who are set to play today.
Erik Lamela was interviewed on the Tottenham Twitter channel after the game, where he expressed his belief in the team, and the importance of yesterday’s win.
