Seething Antonio Conte, why Tottenham cannot blame VAR and Bryan Gil's Sporting CP masterclass

Seething Conte

It was perhaps no surprise to see Antonio Conte make a quick exit from his post-match press conference, given what unfolded in the final seconds of stoppage time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Level at 1-1 and needing a goal to progress through to the knockout phase, Harry Kane fired Emerson Royal's header into the net from close range, only for VAR to intervene.

It was pandemonium inside the ground when the ball hit the back of the net as Spurs looked like they had got themselves out of jail following such a slow start. Substitute Djed Spence was first to grab the goalscorer as the team sprinted over towards the Spurs dugout, with players, staff and even injured duo Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison joining in the celebrations as Conte bounced all over the place.
