Ben Davies admitted that the absent Antonio Conte got his message across in the noisy dressing room after Tottenham's 2-0 victory against West Ham on Sunday following a week in which a few home truths were aired among the squad.
Conte is currently recuperating back in Italy in his Turin-home after initially returning too soon following emergency surgery to remove his gallbladder. In his absence Spurs won their derby against the Hammers to push back into the Premier League's top four thanks to an Emerson Royal goal set up by a driving run and pass from Davies and then a Son Heung-min strike, after the South Korean came off the bench.
Conte was in constant contact with the coaching staff throughout the game but Tottenham's senior players had also been asked to take more responsibility.
