Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has changed his tune on the race for the final top four spot in the Premier League after this weekend’s results.
Conte had overseen his Spurs side recorded a devastating four-goal victory away at Aston Villa with Heung-Min Son netting a hat-trick and Dejan Kulusevski also finding the net. It was an important day in the race for Champions League qualification as Arsenal were beaten at home by Brighton – five days after being humbled in a three-goal defeat against Crystal Palace – while a toothless Manchester United lost 1-0 at Everton.
It was a set of results that ensured Spurs moved three points clear of Arsenal – who have a game in hand – and six clear of Manchester United, while they have a vastly superior goal difference to both. Conte’s side are now in the box seat to secure that final qualification spot for the Champions League.
