Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has urged perspective from fans after their 0-0 draw with Brentford.
Spurs conceded ground to north London rivals Arsenal, whose victory over Manchester United moved them into the top four – a position Conte's side could not regain as they limped to a 0-0 draw at Brentford.
For Conte's side to be in the top four race at all is something of an achievement given how inconsistent they have been and the difficult position they were in when he arrived.
The Italian was appointed in November following the dismal reign of Nuno Espirito Santo and found a team six points off the top four.
“I think also for this reason today, with five games to play we are talking about Tottenham are in the race for the Champions League [places]," Conte said.
“The people have not to forget in November the big trouble that Tottenham was. Now to stay with five games to go the possibility to stay in this race means the players improved a lot and we are doing a great job.
“But we have to know in this last month maybe if we gave 120 per cent maybe it's not enough, we have to try to increase and go 150 per cent to try to reach this target."
