Tottenham assistant manager Cristian Stellini says Antonio Conte was immediately on the phone after victory over 2-0.

Stellini continues to stand in for Conte as he recovers from gallbladder surgery.

He said, "Yes, Antonio called immediately, straight after the game. He was really happy because he has suffered a lot, but now is week Antonio is back so we are happy for the win, we are happy for that and we have to give many compliments to the players because they played a great match.

"I feel that the team follow the process Antonio create and they take more responsibility without Antonio. This is what I believe in.

"It is like a teenager that has to become mature. The team react in this way and they take a lot of responsibility. Everyone, players that play and players that are sometimes not playing. This is why I am glad to stay here and to keep the chair of Antonio warm."
