Tottenham Hotspur manager, Antonio Conte, has joked that he is worried about his blood pressure after the Premier League team snatched another late victory against Leeds on Saturday.
With less than 10 minutes to go at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs found themselves 3-2 down.
However, a late brace from Rodrigo Bentancur turned the game around for the home side to give them a crucial 4-3 win. After yet another dramatic victory, Conte joked that his players were trying to kill him, before calling for more stability in future games.
“What a game, I said to my players that I understood that slowly, slowly they want to kill me with this type of game,” Conte said to talkSPORT. “In the last period I think they attempted a lot, for many, many games we were losing but we were good to come back.
“On my side, I think if you want to be competitive you have to try to have more stability. To have one game and concede three goals, it means you have to work a lot.”
Saturday’s result came just two few weeks after Bentancur was the hero again at Bournemouth, with Spurs coming from 2-0 down to clinch a memorable win in the 92nd minute. Victory against Leeds cements Spurs’ place in the top four before the international break for the World Cup, although Manchester United remain hot on their tail, only six points behind with two games in hand.
