Brighton matchwinner Leandro Trossard insists they deserved their shock victory over Tottenham.

The win sees the Seagulls seven points clear of the bottom three.

Trossard said, "It's a great result, we were nearly there against Fulham but it's a sweet one. We deserved it, we worked hard and had a lot of chances. We always try to finish off those actions

"I'm really happy for the team, to get a win at home as well, it's special and we need to go on. We wanted to go at them, not let them play from the back. We defended well, kept it to nil and it's a great result.

"You play one of the better teams and one chance can be enough, the whole team worked hard for it.

"We knew they would come at us, especially after half time but we worked hard and deserved it. It's a confidence boost, we have worked hard all season, now we have won at home and we have a taste for more."
