Tottenham boss Pochettino frustrated but 'it's Kane's goal'

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was frustrated after their 1-1 draw at Brighton.

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, Pascal Gross levelling with an excellent penalty after Serge Aurier had caught Jose Izquierdo.

Pochettino said: "It was a difficult game, the first half was even and the second half we started it really well. We scored and in the next section we conceded. In the second half we dominated, created chances but not enough to win the game. The draw is a little bit disappointing because the intention was to get all three.

"We were thinking of giving the team fresh legs because Saturday's game against Manchester City was tough mentally and physically. We have a squad good enough to win games. Today was not because we rotated the team. Everyone is ready to play but Brighton was a very difficult opponent and we need to give credit to them.

"Bruno touched the ball when he was inside the goal (so it was Harry Kane's goal)."
