THE South stand of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium echoed with chants of “Antoniooooo, Antoniooooo” last weekend during their game with Eddie Howe’s Newcastle, who found themselves to be the victims of a 5-1 thrashing at the end of 90 minutes.

Spurs boss Antonio Conte shed light on the noticeable recent change in his side in the matchday programme, stating: “I have spoken about a strong team being a stable team and we are beginning to see that now.”

Earlier in the season, Spurs’ inconsistent form was a main talking point surrounding the club, but more recently, they have emerged with a strong identity on the pitch led by one of the best front threes in the league.
