What Antonio Conte said to Harry Kane in surprise phone call after Tottenham win vs Man City

Antonio Conte was a notable absentee from the touchline in Tottenham's Premier League match against Manchester City on Sunday after the Italian underwent surgery earlier in the week. The Spurs boss was back recovering in Italy and therefore missed the game but he will have undoubtedly been proud of what he saw from his players.

Harry Kane provided the winning goal after just 15 minutes against Man City with that strike seeing the England captain break Jimmy Greaves' goalscoring record of 266 for the club. Spurs then put in a tremendous defensive shift to prevent the reigning champions from scoring at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the fifth consecutive occasion.

Cristian Stellini, Conte's right hand man, was the man in the dugout for Spurs with his touchline managerial record remaining at 100% after he guided Spurs to their Champions League win against Marseille, with Conte in the stands after being sent off in the previous game against Sporting CP.
