Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, has said that he told his players to “show me spirit”, before their Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The Blues came into the game at Wembley, on the back of a 3-2 defeat to Burnley at home in their opening fixture.
Conte’s men produced a battling performance to win beat Spurs 2-1 and the Italian was impressed by their commitment.
He told Sky Sports: “First of all I want to thank my players because their commitment, their desire and heart they put on the pitch was incredible in what has been a very difficult moment for us. I am very pleased with the will to fight for every ball and they showed me the desire of last season is still there.
“Our fans were incredible today to push us in every moment and a good day for us.
“Honestly, the game against Burnley we outplayed them, just look at the stats. We had 62% possession and had eight shots and created more chances despite playing with 10 men. It was a bad first half but the performance in the second half was pleasing. Today I asked them to show me spirit and they did.”
