Spurs were beaten 1-0 by Ben Mee\u2019s goal following a high of upsetting Premier League toppers Manchester City on Saturday, leaving them in eighth place \u2013 the same place they were in when Conte took over from Nuno Espirito Santo in November.<\/p>\n
Spurs struggled at Turf Moor, unable to deal with a relegation-threatened Burnley team that showed more passion and, in the end, calmness in front of goal, leaving Conte unhappy. \u201cNo one deserves this type of situation \u2013 the club, me, the players and fans,\u201d he said. \u201cBut this is the reality. I came in to try to improve the situation in Tottenham but maybe at this moment, I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m not so good to improve the situation. It\u2019s very frustrating because I know we\u2019re working hard, working a lot and trying to get the best out of every single player.\u201d he said after the match against Burnley as reported by sky sports.<\/p>\n
On the positive note, in the pre-match interview before their match against Leeds today, he seemed optimistic about his situation at Tottenham. He said he is optimistic about his stay at Spurs and that things between him and the club are just fine. It\u2019s a good day for Spurs as they thrash Leed\u2019s 4-1.<\/p>\n
Ryan Sessegnon surged clear down the left flank and sent a superbly measured ball for Matt Doherty to swipe home, putting Marcelo Bielsa\u2019s struggling team down after only ten minutes. On the half-hour mark, Dejan Kulusevski blasted in the visitors\u2019 second, before Harry Kane\u2019s clinical finish made it 3-0.<\/p>\n
In the second half, Son Heung-min added to Leeds\u2019s agony by latching on to Kane\u2019s through the ball of the home protection and beating Illan Meslier with a fine finish. Leeds\u2019 Robin Koch and Raphinha hit the post, and Stuart Dallas could have scored a consolation goal before Spurs\u2019 fourth, but the hosts hardly appeared capable of regaining control of the game as Spurs continued to churn out counter-attacking opportunities.<\/p>\n
Spurs\u2019 win was a great response to their recent defeat at Burnley \u2013 and Antonio Conte\u2019s worrisome response to it \u2013 but there was no such consolation for Leeds, who have so far conceded 20 goals in five games, four of which they have lost comfortably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
