Harry Kane has claimed it was a "difficult week" in Antonio Conte's absence but the Tottenham team made him proud following their 1-0 win over Man City. With Conte back in his home country recuperating after having his gallbladder removed on Wednesday, assistant head coach Cristian Stellini led the side to a memorable victory against the reigning champions.
Kane was the hero after scoring the winning goal fifteen minutes into the contest, with his strike seeing him become Tottenham's all-time top goalscorer in the process as he moved one ahead of Jimmy Greaves after netting his 267th for the Lilywhites. Upon returning to the changing room following the 1-0 win, Kane and the rest of the Tottenham team did speak to a very proud Conte following a unforgettable evening in N17.
"He was on the phone there and he just kind of congratulated me for the achievement and just said he was proud of all the boys," revealed Kane. "It's not easy when you don't have your coach there. It's obviously been a difficult week, we're all happy the surgery went well and he's recovering well.
