Antonio Conte has appealed for patience after blaming Tottenham’s busy fixture schedule following a second defeat in a week.
Spurs lost their perfect home record in the Premier League on Sunday evening as Newcastle claimed a 2-1 win in north London. Callum Wilson opened the scoring in controversial circumstances after colliding with Hugo Lloris before Miguel Almiron took advantage of some slack defending with a solo goal.
Harry Kane reduced the deficit after the break with a stooping back-post header, but Tottenham couldn’t complete the turnaround. Spurs have now suffered back-to-back defeats following their 2-0 loss against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
