Brighton midfielder Mats Wieffer says they were always confident of getting a result from Tottenham on Saturday.

Brighton drew 2-2 at Spurs thanks to a late equaliser from Georginio Rutter.

Wieffer said: “I think the 2-1 came out of nowhere but we still had the feeling that we could score because they are not in a really good position at the moment, as everybody knows.

“In the last ten minutes you saw already the 2-2 was a little bit coming.

“We scored it and, in the end, we had also chances with the corner to get the 3-2. In the end, if it is deserved, I don’t know, but we wanted more.” 

He added:  “You see they are going to drop. They try to be in the 16 (penalty area) so we can pay around. 

“Maybe a lack of confidence, a little bit. We keep pressure, pressure, pressure and one ball can fall well and it happened for us to make it 2-2.”
