Kane reignites Spurs’ top-four hopes

Harry Kane scored as Tottenham reignited their top-four hopes by condemning Brighton to a sixth successive Premier League defeat.

England forward Kane raced onto Rodrigo Bentancur’s incisive pass to drive a low effort past Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and seal a deserved win for the visitors.

The goal brought up Kane’s 95th away from home in the Premier League, a new record and, but for some errant finishing, he could have added to his tally.

Cristian Romero had earlier put Spurs in front, deflecting in Dejan Kulusevski’s low effort past a helpless Sanchez and into the bottom left corner.

The result sees Antonio Conte’s side move up to seventh in the table and was the perfect response to their defeat against at Manchester Unite last Saturday.

However, the ease with which the Italian’s side won will concern Seagulls manager Graham Potter, whose side remain 13th having won just once in their last 10 matches.
