Burnley vs Tottenham player ratings: Tarkowski 8, Mee 7; Kane 6, Son 5

Antonio Conte questioned his future as Tottenham Hotspur manager after seeing his team lose 1-0 at relegation-threatened Burnley on Wednesday for a fourth defeat in five games in the Premier League.

Conte's side saw their hopes of a top four finish severely damaged by Ben Mee's second-half winner at Turf Moor.

The Italian said he would be speaking to the hierarchy at the London club to see if he is the right man to take Tottenham forward.

“I am too honest to accept this kind of situation," Conte said, "and for sure we will make an assessment with the club.

"Because it’s not right, it's not good for everybody to continue to lose. I can’t accept this.”

The optimism from Saturday's stunning 3-2 win at first-place Manchester City was punctured at a wet and windy Turf Moor, against a Burnley team which started the game second bottom.

It made Conte question his own ability as a manager after 3 1/2 months in the job at Tottenham.

“First time in my life, four defeats in five. Maybe I'm not so good,” Conte said. “Tottenham called me to improve the situation. But I’m too honest to close my eyes and to continue to say, ‘OK but I want to finish my season in this way [and] my salary is good.’ No, I'm not this type of person. I have ambition."

Defeat leaves Tottenham in eighth place, seven points off the top four but with two games in hand over fourth-place Manchester United.
