Antonio Conte wanted his Tottenham players to take advantage of the counter-attacking opportunities against Manchester City in their big win at the Etihad on Saturday.
Coming into the Premier League meeting, Spurs had lost their last three league games and City were strong favourites to extend their unbeaten league run to 16 games. Conte had positioned the visitors as firm underdogs, explaining how they will spend most of the game without the ball and would need to be at their best to take anything back to North London.
As it happened, Spurs were brilliant and took advantage of a shaky City performance. Harry Kane pulled the strings as he sent Heung-min Son free on the left early on, for the South Korean to give Dejan Kulusevski an easy finish. After Ilkay Gundogan equalised, Kane finished well and saw another disallowed for an offside in the build-up.
