Antonio Conte praised Tottenham’s character after they bounced back from their demoralising defeat to Aston Villa by reviving their top-four challenge with a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace
“It’s always important to get three points and have this type of win,” Conte said. “This brings confidence. The game against Aston Villa, after a good first half, we conceded the goal and our confidence dropped a lot and to recover in two or three days after a defeat at home where we are expected to win, and to go again, was not easy. The response was really good. My players showed great character, great personality.
It was the first time Spurs had opened the scoring in 11 games. Conte’s style of play has drawn criticism and supporters have reacted to the team’s disappointing form by calling for the chairman, Daniel Levy, to resign. However, while there were more “Levy Out” chants during the win over Palace, the performance suggested Conte’s team will be in good shape when they face Arsenal and Manchester City later this month.
“We know we face Arsenal and Man City, the two title contenders for this Premier League,” the Spurs manager said. “To arrive with a good win is really important. I hope to recover players who are injured. We are talking about important players. I hope in these 10 days to have all the players available: Richarlison, Kulu, Bentancur.
Patrick Vieira had few complaints after watching Palace suffer a second consecutive heavy defeat at home. “The problem was the quality of the Spurs forwards,” said Palace’s manager.

‘Distortion of the truth’: Press weren’t being ‘spoon-fed’ stories about Harry and MeghanDaily Mirror Royal Editor Russell Myers says the issue he and many of his colleagues have is that “nobody was being called up” by the Royal Family nor were they being “spoon-fed” stories about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Mr Myers’ remarks come after in a sneak peak of CBS' 60 Minutes interview with Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex accused the Royal Family of “planting stories” against him and his wife Meghan Markle. “Our jobs would be an awful lot easier if that was actually happening,” he told Sky News host James Morrow. “Of course, there were conversations, of course, there were briefings about stories that our sources would give us, and we had to go to Buckingham Palace or Kensington Palace to check. “But I think it’s a complete distortion of the truth to suggest that that was the only way that that stories about them were appearing in the press because it simply wasn’t true.”
