Spurs left it late on Saturday.

Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson says his winning goal against Brighton on Saturday "felt like slow motion".

The Wales international, 22, came off the bench at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to give Ange Postecoglou's side a vital three points against the Seagulls.

It was Johnson's third goal for Spurs since joining in August from Nottingham Forest, and his second in consecutive home games.

"When Son crossed the ball, he had to lift it a bit and it felt like slow motion," Johnson told BBC's Match of the Day.

"I knew I just had to make the contact and I could feel my heart going.

"It just comes down to training. We work on wingers getting in at the back post so much. Early crosses are so important."

Spurs are looking to regain momentum now key players James Maddison, Micky Van de Ven and Son Heung-min are all back in action.

And Johnson, who has also added four assists for his new club, said they are now ready to "kick on" in the final months of the season.

"We've got players back form tournaments and injury and it shows where the squad was before because we got off to such a great start," added Johnson.

"It's a really important stage now to try and kick on. We don't have too many games left and we need to keep performing to the highest ability."
