DELE ALLI was the hero for Jose Mourinho as Tottenham scraped past Brighton.
The Seagulls had led through blistering header from Adam Webster in the first-half as they looked to do the double over Spurs a 3-0 hammering on the South Coast in October.
But Harry Kane equalised after some luck in the build up and seeing his first shot saved to put another past Mat Ryan in the Brighton goal.
In a game where Spurs were fortunate to still have all 11 men on the pitch after a Harry Winks tackle worthy of a second yellow and a very late Alli challenge, Mourinho was definitely pleased with his team’s second goal.
Some neat passes between the Tottenham players saw the ball laid off for Alli, who guided it over Ryan’s head for all three points and send them up to fifth in the Premeir League table.
