Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross was delighted with their point for Monday night's 1-1 draw with Tottenham.

Harry Kane's 26th league goal of the season, following Gaetan Bong's error, put Spurs in sight of an 11th away win.

But Brighton were behind for just two minutes, Gross levelling with an excellent penalty after Serge Aurier had caught Jose Izquierdo.

The midfielder said afterwards: "It is a very important point in a bad period of the last few games. We fight together and showed we have good character as a team. We made a good game against a good team.

"We know we need some more points and have games remaining. You always have a chance in football so we got a point today and we have to keep going.

"The goal we conceded was a stupid one and a bad mistake from us. We have good character and team spirit, it was important the reaction was fast.

"You always have pressure on a penalty but I trust in my quality. I know I can shoot a penalty well and I can trust on my technique."
