Antonio Conte accused of "patronising and condescending" Arsenal rival Mikel Arteta

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte behaved in a "condescending and patronising" manner towards Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta after the North London derby, according to former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan.

Spurs defeated their local rivals 3-0 on Thursday night to reignite the race for a spot in the top four of the Premier League, with Harry Kane scoring twice and Son Heung-min adding the third. The fixture had its fair share of controversy as the Gunners conceded a somewhat soft penalty before Rob Holding was sent off.

Arteta was especially livid about the spot kick being awarded and was tight-lipped in his post-match press conference to avoid getting "suspended for six months". Conte had no time for the Spaniard's protests, however, and accused his opposite number of "complaining a lot" as he spoke to reporters.
