""I think this is our best performance of the season," the Spurs boss told BBC Match of the Day. "I actually think that overall, if there should have been a winner, it should have been us. "So many crosses into the box, near chances, missed opportunities. We were physically strong and mentally strong, and that is so important if you want to achieve something.""
"After an impressive start to the campaign and then dominating against the Seagulls, finding themselves 2-0 down after 30 minutes did have the feeling of being very 'Spursy' - after all, it was at the same ground just under a year ago that they went from 2-0 up to lose 3-2. But - thankfully as far the Tottenham supporters were concerned - it was a feeling that did not last too long."
"Incredibly, this marked the first time in three years that Tottenham have managed to avoid defeat in an away league game when trailing by two or more goals - a run of 15 losses in such matches - suggesting a possible change in their mentality under Frank."
Tottenham trailed 2-0 after 30 minutes at Brighton but rallied to earn a 2-2 draw thanks to a goal from Richarlison and a Jan Paul van Hecke own goal. The side created numerous chances and dominated periods of the match, producing many crosses and near opportunities despite missed chances. The result ended a three-year sequence of away league defeats when trailing by two or more goals, breaking a run of 15 such losses. The team displayed physical and mental strength and greater belief, indicating a possible change in mentality under current management.
