SOUTHAMPTON (Reuters) - Antonio Conte lambasted his Tottenham Hotspur players as 'selfish' after they squandered a 3-1 lead at Southampton to draw 3-3 and drop crucial points in their bid to hang on to fourth place in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Italian, who looks increasingly likely to leave at the end of the season or before, described their inability to hold on to victory as 'unacceptable' and questioned their spirit.
"I think that it's the right moment to speak because I think that after this performance, for me this is unacceptable. We are winning 3-1, in control and concede two goals and Fraser made saves. It's better to go into the problem, we are not a team. We are 11 players that go into the pitch.Conte's tactics are regularly questioned by Tottenham fans who appear to have lost patience with his methods.
