Brighton striker Neal Maupay says Tottenham heads quickly dropped during Saturday's 3-0 thrashing.

Maupay scored Albion's quickest ever Premier League goal after 150 seconds when the disorientated Hugo Lloris inexplicably dropped the ball before suffering a dislocated elbow when he fell.

“We sensed their heads went down after the first goal – that's why we kept pushing and ­putting pressure on them," said Maupay.

“Losing Lloris and the goal so early was hard for them and they looked worried. We knew they were having a tough time so we wanted to keep going at them. And it worked because they dropped a bit and we got the second goal."
