Antonio Conte makes Graham Potter and Brighton tactics admission after comfortable victory for Tottenham

Antonio Conte guided his Tottenham team to a 2-0 Premier League against Brighton at the Amex Stadium

Goals either side of the interval from Cristian Romero and Harry Kane saw the visitors run out 2-0 winners, the Seagulls have now scored just once in their last six fixtures.

Speaking after the game the Tottenham boss described Potter as “a really good manager”, with a team that “compliment” him.

“You can see an idea of football, they like to play football, during the game they can change the system, [it] is working very well, and to work with the same team for many years for improvement in a tactical aspect, I think they compliment the manager because I think he is very very good.”

Reflecting on the game, Conte was happier with his side’s performance compared to their last outing against Brighton, a 3-1 win in the FA Cup. “Honestly to play against Brighton is not easy and I think tonight we played a better game than we played in the game in the FA Cup.

"The result [FA Cup] was a bit unfair because they shoot a lot, and they were unlucky in that game. Tonight I think we deserved it much more.”

“I think [we had] a good performance. In the last period I’m seeing great improvement. We are improving to be very close at the top of the table.

"It’s right to have ambition and I put ambition to my players because it’s important to have a target, a difficult target for sure because to reach the top four is not simple.

"It will be very difficult.”

The Italian finished his press conference by singling goal-scorer Kane out for praise. Kane netted in the second half with a clinical finish - The England striker's seventh goal in six games and his 178th Premier League goal in total.

“We are very happy because Harry is scoring a lot and you know very well he started the season and he struggled a bit.

"As a manager I know that I have a world class striker in every game. To have Harry in your team makes you stronger.

"What I’m seeing is that he is enjoying playing football with us together and with his team-mates."
