Brennan Johnson was proud proving Tottenham's matchwinner for victory over Brighton.

Johnson scored in injury-time as Spurs won 2-1 on the day.

He later said: "When Sonny crossed the ball, he had to lift it a bit and it felt like slow motion. I knew I just had to make the contact and I could feel my heart going.

"It just comes down to training. We work on wingers getting in at the back post so much. Early crosses are so important."

On having key players back in the squad, he also said: "It's a nice feeling, especially in training all week, to have everyone back it's just so exciting.

"We've got players back form tournaments and injury and it shows where the squad was before because we got off to such a great start.

"It's a really important stage now to try and kick on. We don't have too many games left and we need to keep performing to the highest ability."
