De Zerbi: Spurs can spark a winning run to survive
Brighton boss De Zerbi believes Tottenham can turn their season around with a winning run to climb clear of relegation after a late Brighton draw.
Tottenham and Brighton shared the spoils after a dramatic late strike denied Spurs victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The match swung on a stoppage-time moment, leaving both teams with a point as the clock ticked past 90 minutes.
Tottenham, who are in the relegation battle despite flashes of improvement, earned a much-needed result but remain in the bottom three, highlighting how finely poised the Premier League campaign is for them.
De Zerbi, the Brighton manager, spoke after the game about Tottenham's potential to turn their season around. He believes Spurs can go on a winning run and survive, citing the confidence his own side gained from a difficult fixture and the resilience shown in taking something from the game.
From a performance perspective, Spurs produced more attacking threat than in recent outings and looked more compact in defence, yet they could not close out the win. Brighton, meanwhile, will take confidence from the draw and the way they controlled periods of the match.
With several fixtures still to come, both clubs face a pivotal run of matches as they chase opposite ends of the table. For Tottenham, each point is precious as they try to climb out of the relegation zone; for Brighton, the point adds to their steady momentum in a season that has had its share of upturns and setbacks.
