'Emotional, booed off' - National media reacts to Tottenham Premier League win over Brighton

Tottenham bounced back from their North London Derby defeat with a win against Brighton thanks to Harry Kane's brilliant header.

Antonio Conte admitted it was difficult to prepare his team for the game on Saturday evening after Spurs were shocked by the news that fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone had passed away earlier in the week. Kane pointed to the sky after scoring the only goal of the game, which would hand the Lilywhites all three points, in a subdued celebration following a wonderful tribute pre-match.

It was a strong performance for Spurs who clawed back some ground to their rivals Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the table. Hugo Lloris paid his own respects to Ventrone, lifting up a Tottenham shirt with the fitness coach's name on the back in front of the travelling Tottenham fans.
