'Beautiful' - Alasdair Gold thrilled as he reveals what Conte did right by Pep on Spurs winner

Journalist Alasdair Gold revelled in Antonio Conte’s ‘mad’ celebration after Harry Kane’s ‘beautiful’ winner against Manchester City.

Tottenham faced a daunting trip to the reigning Premier League champions on Saturday evening, in what was a key game in both the title race and top-four battle.

It proved to be an unforgettable night for Spurs alone, however, as they ran out 3-2 winners thanks to Kane’s stoppage-time winner after Riyad Mahrez had just equalised from the penalty spot.

The victory feels huge in the race for Champions League football and is surely one of Spurs’ best victories in recent years.

Taking to Twitter after the final whistle, Gold hailed Conte’s touchline celebration after the winning goal, as Sky Sports footage showed the Italian running manically back to his bench for a group hug as Pep Guardiola stood nearby in horror:

After three league defeats in a row, this has completely changed the mindset of anyone associated with Spurs, who will now feel a top-four finish is very much back on.

The confidence that this victory should give the squad is incomparable – given Manchester City’s status as the most dominant team in the country, Conte and his side will feel invincible.

It will also feel like a kick in the gut for the top four rivals, who will have expected dropped points here.

It is now vital that Spurs enjoy the victory but also quickly knuckle down and focus on more winnable games, ensuring it doesn’t become meaningless in May.

In other news, Spurs have reportedly contacted one player over a potential move. Find out who it is here.
