Spurs increased optimism around the club with an impressive opening-day thrashing of Saints without any of their six summer signings in Antonio Conte’s starting XI. Spurs were soundly beaten four times by Chelsea last season, including three defeats in January, the first of which led a furious Conte to describe the quality of his squad as “in the middle”.
