Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has praised his team for showing their character to come back from two early setbacks to beat Brighton 2-1 in the early kick off on Boxing Day.
Adam Webster broke the deadlock after 37 minutes after Harry Kane saw a goal ruled out by the video assistant referee.
Spurs had been defeated in their last match at home against Chelsea and they needed to get a good result to bounce back from that disappointment.
Frank Lampard's side claimed the bragging rights in their London derby clash with Tottenham to hand Mourinho a morale problem to solve just before Christmas.
Having lost to his former club in their previous match before facing Brighton, the Portuguese was most impressed by how his team shrugged off a first half in which everything seemed to go against them.
"The spirit in the second half was amazing," he told BBC Sport after the game.
"When you lose a game you need the next game to start well and then you forget, you recover your self esteem and you go for a normal performance.
"When you start the game and it doesn't start very well and you score a beautiful goal that was offside by one inch and then they go there and score from a set piece, it is not even a mistake.
"It is the kind of situation where a team with two or three guys over two metres it is very hard to control so they score and then the game is open and the team was fantastic."
Kane found an equaliser early in the second half before Dele Alli found a winner for Spurs.
"The spirit was fantastic," added Mourinho.
