"Pure class" – Brighton fans sing Dunk and Duffy’s praises after Spurs performance

[ad_pod ]

Shane Duffy and Lewis Dunk put in memorable displays in Brighton’s agonising 1-0 defeat away to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night.

The Seagulls were playing their game-in-hand over Cardiff, who sit 18th in the table and only three points behind them.

Dunk has enjoyed a good season for Brighton, having earned his first England call-up and cap under Gareth Southgate, and he’s kicked on this season despite Brighton’s dip in form.

Dunk’s partner Duffy made a wonderful clearance on the goal-line to deny Dele Alli in the first half – a chance he looked destined to score.

In the end it needed Christian Eriksen to conjure a beautiful left-footed effort into the near corner of the net to break down a resilient and stubborn Brighton defence who are fighting for their Premier League survival.

Despite Brighton not winning a Premier League game since their 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at the beginning of March, fans saw optimism in this performance, and many singled out the centre-back pairing for their contribution.
