    FT: Brighton 0-2 Tottenham

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Antonio Conte: "I am very pleased for a good performance and because we got three points. It is the final part of the season and it is vital to get three points. We want to stay very close to the top to see what will happen at the end of the season.

    "In my opinion we are playing very well and improving a lot with the ball and also tonight we also showed solidity defensively.

    "There were a lot of positive things but at the same time from tomorrow we start to think about Sunday against an opponent that is now our target.

    "It is important for us to have a target. We show ambition and I think my players and team needs to have ambition. It is a difficult target to reach but we have to try."

    On Harry Kane: "It is an outstanding achievement for him but we are talking about a world-class striker. I am pleased for Harry to score in this way because at the start of the season he struggled a bit and didn't score a lot and now he knows very well with this team he has great opportunities to score in every game.

    "To have a striker like him makes us stronger but at the same time his feeling now is positive because he knows he will have chances."

    Tim in Marlow: If Virgil Van Dijk is a Rolls-Royce of a centre-back, Joel Matip has to be at least a Mercedes S-Class. So calm, so smooth, and he's always one step ahead of his opponent because he reads the game so well.
