What Antonio Conte has done to reward Tottenham players after Champions League progression

Antonio Conte has rewarded Tottenham players with two days off after late heroics ensured that they progressed through to the Champions League's Round of 16 as Group D winners.

Spurs had gone a goal down after Chancel Mbemba Mangulu opened the scoring just before half-time. Clement Lenglet's header levelled proceedings in the 54th minute but the game was nervy for the Lilywhites thereafter.

Former Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac had the opportunity to break Spurs' hearts prior to injury time but he headed wide at the back post. Harry Kane then played Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg through in the 95th minute of the game and the Dane made no mistake with his right-footed strike as he ensured victory in France.
