Spurs come into this in really good form, well rested and prepared. We totally out 'spurs' them and frustrated the hell out of the plastics. It's funny hearing them bitch and moan about it too.

Arsenal were shit and we capitalised.

Just to rock the boat - Arsenal. Because GP made significant changes to the line up, introduced a new midfield that instantly 'clicked' thereby giving the rest of the team a new found confidence/belief and purpose of play. A small tweak today and the momentum carried on.

Both - I for one didn't think we'd get a sausagefrom either game so hats off to the lads for two fantastic performances, very well deserved.

Humble pie being eaten tonight, washed down with a few pints of Harvey's.

Well done guys.

I only MotD'ed Arsenal.

But as today the Albion were in complete control, worthy of the win and Spurs were hanging on, I'd suggest there's only one winner here.

The fact that there was no siege today for the last 5 to 10 mins, says to me that was one of our most complete midfield performances under Potter

I think today's game had that air of vengeance to it for the last error-strewn contest at White Hart Lane. They strolled through that game, Spurs, and so did we, in attitude. Buoyed by last week's efforts this also had Potsy looking to stifle Conte tactically whilst showing him that players with emotion and expression can come out on top of the tyrannised. Last week felt spectacular, but this was a scalp to treasure thanks to our lust to dominate with toe-ins and blessed trickery.
Beautiful.

The only downside I would say was the lack of goal action for a neutral fan watching the game.

For a Brighton fan, watching on paper a poorer team get the better of a richer side in a chess match was a joy to watch for me.

Both excellent - but I’d go Arsenal, as I felt we were more dangerous offensively, and Welbeck gave Leeds Ben White a torrid time…

And also it means a bit more. Can't stand Arsenal, so much more of a 'thing' to beat them - whereas I don't mind Spurs so much.

Today no doubt.

The Arsenal performance wasnt even a top 5 performance this season in terms of quality from Brighton.. it was a fighting win. Sort of like when a Championship team beats a PL team in one of the cups.

Today however was excellent in every department.
