Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits Brighton's defensive work made the difference for today's home defeat.
Brighton won 1-0 at Spurs thanks to Leandro Trossard's winner.
Conte said, "I think that Brighton were very good to close every space and we were not good in finding the space. In difficulty we have to try to find the solution. Also with a single player but today we can do much better.
"Once you reach a good position in the table then you have to try to keep this position. It's a good experience for us to try to cope with pressure.
"A lesson that we can learn today that there are games that if you are not able to win you have to not lose. It was very clear that today it wasn't our day. It was important to get three points before our rivals players in the race for the Champions League but the game was very difficult.
"It was a tactical game for both sides and Brighton were very good at closing the space. We moved the ball slowly. I think that we are able to do much better than today. Perhaps a draw was more fair but Brighton played a good game. If you win against Arsenal and Tottenham away you know it's a good game."
