Antonio Conte slams Tottenham mentality and history following Southampton draw

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has had some harsh words to say after Spursโ€™ frustrating 3-3 draw against Southampton.

Spurs were 3-1 up after goals from Harry Kane and Ivan Perisic in the second half after Che Adams had nullified Pedro Porroโ€™s goal. But the Saints pulled one back through Theo Walcott and a late penalty from James Ward-Prowse saw the South Coast club pick up one point in the game.

But Conte, who has spoken about Spursโ€™ mentality in recent weeks, was quite vocal about the clubโ€™s tendencies and the clubโ€™s ownership in the post-game interview. He stated that Spurs are โ€˜used toโ€™ things like the result on Saturday and that the club does not want to play under pressure and compete for trophies and titles.

The Italian said: โ€œTheyโ€™re used to it here. Donโ€™t play for something important. They donโ€™t want to play under pressure. They donโ€™t want to play under stress. Tottenhamโ€™s story is this. 20 years there is the owner & they never won something. Why?โ€

The ex-Inter bossโ€™ side are currently fourth in the table but a win could have taken them to third in the table and over Manchester United. But the loss comes at a wrong time, especially considering United donโ€™t play a game this weekend.
