Spurs boss Antonio Conte praised his star striker Harry Kane after the England captain netted twice to send Brighton out of the FA Cup. Kane put Spurs 1-0 up in the 13th minute after pouncing on a mistake from Adam Webster and exquisitely firing past Robert Sanchez from the edge of the box. Spurs went 2-0 up ten minutes later after Emerson Royal's cross from the tightest of angles deflected off of Solly March and looped over a helpless Sanchez. Brighton came out fighting in the second half and pulled a goal back in the 63rd minute after Yves Bissouma's deflected effort went in following a mazy solo run. Moments later however, Spurs went 3-1 up after Webster's tackle on Son inside his box deflected to Kane to pounce once again and tap in from a yard out. Speaking after the game, Antonio Conte said: "Harry, in the past, in the games that he didn't score, I liked his performance. "Harry is a player who's scored a lot in the past as a number nine. "But what we can appreciate - me and the whole team - is his attitude and commitment for the whole team. I think this is the most important thing for us. "Then, for sure, to score two goals is important because he's a number nine, he's used to scoring goals. "We are working on the physical condition with the team. We're trying to improve the intensity, also during the training sessions. I think all these situations can improve the performance with all the players." Spurs now go into the fifth round of the FA Cup.
