Harry Kane became the highest Premier League away goalscorer of all-time as Tottenham recorded a comfortable 2-0 victory away at out-of-sorts Brighton.

The visitors broke the deadlock shortly before half-time when Dejan Kulusevski’s effort from just outside the penalty area deflected off Cristian Romero and wrong-footed Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

It was nothing more than their first half efforts merited, with Kane himself guilty of missing an open net from an acute angle after just six minutes. After some tenacious work to close down Sanchez’s heavy touch outside the box, the England captain’s weak-footed effort rolled across the face of the six-yard box.

Kulusevski had a chance to double Spurs’ advantage before half-time after poor work at the back from Shane Duffy, but the Swedish forward couldn’t beat Sanchez one-on-one.

Brighton looked to rally shortly after the break, but moments after they had a penalty appeal for handball waved away, Spurs hit them with an incisive counter-attack that was finished off coolly by Kane
