But it was of consequence as spurs were still in with a chance to finish fourth. I would want Brighton to go hell for leather to win irrespective of any help it gave to Palace.
A lot of Spurs fans are saying that Postecoglou has been talking down the importance of the CL for a while now and the team hadn't been anywhere close to going hell for leather in their past six games, so it was a bit hypocritical for him to pin the loss on the fans / this one game.
