Antonio Conte slams "selfish" Tottenham flops and Daniel Levy after Southampton failure

Livid Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has laid into his "selfish" players after drawing 3-3 with bottom dwellers Southampton on Saturday - and even more strikingly slammed his boss, Daniel Levy.

Spurs squandered a 3-1 lead at St Mary's, missing the chance to go four points clear of Newcastle in the race for Champions League football. James Ward-Prowse's 93rd-minute penalty snatched a huge result for Southampton in their fight for survival, as former Arsenal star Theo Walcott had pulled a goal back shortly after Ivan Perisic looked to have wrapped up the win for Tottenham.

Conte was left furious with his players for their late collapse, labelling them "selfish" in an extraordinary post-match rant - even for his highly-strung standards. "I think it's better to go into the problem, we are not a team," the Italian bemoaned. "We are 11 players that go into the pitch. I see selfish players, players that don't want to help each other and don't put their heart."
