- Supporters vented fury after home defeat to Aston Villa
- Conte: ‘Don’t ask me for things I can’t promise you’
Antonio Conte insisted Tottenham’s top-four finish last season was a miracle and called for realism about expectations as fans turned on the team and the owner, Daniel Levy, after their home defeat by Aston Villa. Conte described the atmosphere as “warm and impatient” after supporters vented their fury at the end of the limp showing.
The manager claimed he was happy with Spurs’ performance despite his team mustering only two shots on target during a display which increased the ire of fans unhappy with what they perceive as sterile football orchestrated by the pragmatic Italian. There were chants of “Daniel Levy, get out of our club”.
