Eric Dier has outlined the importance of Tottenham's mentality under Antonio Conte following their hard-fought 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Under the cosh for large parts of the encounter with Steve Cooper's men taking the game to them, Spurs prevailed courtesy of a Harry Kane double.
Tottenham did have numerous opportunities on the counter to extend the scoreline, with their main man also seeing a penalty saved by Dean Henderson in the second half. Certainly not at their best again but getting three points on the board, Dier has stated that it is really exciting knowing that Tottenham can perform so much better.
"I think obviously since the manager arrived we've improved in many aspects, I think the mentality is one. We did well in that sense in this games. Difficult moments, I think right at the start of the game defending set plays, at the end the same. In those moments, staying strong together," the centre-back explained to Sky Sports.
