The victory saw Spurs return to winning ways after their North London derby defeat by Arsenal and Antonio Conte's side sit three points off provisional table toppers Manchester City while Brighton dropped to sixth.
"It's been a difficult week to say the least and it was nice to get the win," Kane told Sky Sports while his team mate Ryan Sessegnon said they"had to perform today"."It's a difficult place to come, you saw their performance at Liverpool and it was good for us to come here, keep a clean sheet and get a win. We had to dig deep."
Spurs coach Conte chose to break the norm and play a three-man midfield, with former Brighton man Yves Bissouma deployed in the middle of the park for the visitors.Brighton responded well to going down with sustained pressure on their opponents, creating chances that tested Hugo Lloris in goal while Lewis Dunk and Solly March came close to scoring an equaliser in the first half.
But Spurs held on, becoming the first team to win at Brighton since their own victory in March last season.
