What was the significance of Christian Eriksen's late goal for Tottenham?
Christian Eriksen's goal, the difference between Tottenham and Brighton this evening. So celebrations for Spurs who do their chances of qualifying for the Champions League. A great deal of good with those three points. Disappointment though for Brighton who held them off for 88 minutes. Here is the match winner with Patrick Davison.
Christian, shot after shot after shot tonight. Did you have the feeling that you were getting closer?
Yeah, I think I had a few warm-up shots before the first one or the first one where he took it and then after I felt confident to go again and then he did very well and I just saw it flying really.
Such a big game, such a big result for you. What is the feeling like now?
Yeah, no, it's very, very good. I mean, we had a tough game. We had a lot of chances. They were standing very deep and just waiting for us to come at them. And yeah, we created a few chances, but it's difficult to play against 10 or 11 men in their own box.
How did Tottenham's victory impact their Champions League qualification hopes?
So I think that the shots we had was close. Toby's as well in the post. But again, it was very important to stay where we are because we saw the results, of course, the other day. So we needed to put the pressure on.
Do you start to get the sense that it is going to take something special, a long shot, maybe something from across? Because picking your way through them is near enough impossible.
Yeah, it was. I mean, like the one I said, the one on Toby on the post, I mean, it's probably the closest one we got. And then a few small balls where they really fall for them instead of for us. And, yeah, there were so many people in the box. It would be 50-50 whoever got it. And, yeah, it was a tough and a long game, I think.
Did the results over the last few days, Chelsea, United, Arsenal, make tonight feel somehow more important, like you had to capitalise?
Yeah, I think so. I think for ourselves and for our own confidence, our own belief in the situation we're in, I mean, we need to keep the pressure on, not only on ourselves, but also the other teams.
What were Brighton's defensive strategies during the match?
And like you said, we saw the results. We saw, I think a lot of us saw the game, so we know what was on stake. And really to stay in our place, we've got to win and there's no other option.
Do you think if you can follow this up against West Ham at the weekend, you'll be almost there in terms of top four and then you can set your sights on Ajax and this season's Champions League rather than next?
Yeah, it's the next game, so I think that's obvious. I think it's the first game we're going to think about and then after it's Champions League. But until that, we need to focus on the Premier League and keep our spot. Again, West Ham will be a different game, will be a tough game again in three days. So, yeah, it's just keep going and keep coming, really. So, we've got to keep going.
You personally are enjoying this new stadium, aren't you? I think you've been involved in five of the eight goals Tottenham have scored here now.
Yeah, no, I really like it. I mean, the stadium is incredible. The fans are incredible.
What did Christian Eriksen say about his performance in the match?
You can feel the whole crowd and the whole atmosphere on the club has changed since we came to the stadium. So it's been a big boost and really it's been good that we had a good start. I mean, the results need to go our way to get that extra confidence and we're building it up slowly.
Is it some feeling to score particularly in front of that stand?
Yeah, it was only end of scoring at the moment, so it was all good. I mean, just at the timing and end of the game, I mean, it's the last moment of the game, so I was just happy it really went in. Well done. Thank you. Cheers.
Cheers.
Six of their eight goals in front of that south stand. Christian Eriksen said there were a few warm-ups before he eventually scored. In fact, they scored with their 21st shot from outside the box, Tottenham. They had 29 attempts, five of which were on target. 38 touches in the Brighton box and 78% possession.
