The one key word missing from Levy's message to Spurs fans and it's the one Conte needs to hear

What a difference 12 months makes at Tottenham Hotspur. This time last year, shambolic scenes marked the return of crowds to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the final home game of the season after Spurs lost 2-1 to Aston Villa with a meek performance. The annual 'lap of honour' was cancelled at the last minute with the fans told to leave the ground over the stadium sound system.

Only some didn't. Instead they booed and some chanted 'Levy Out' and eventually the Tottenham players were awkwardly shoved back out on to the pitch in their tracksuits in front of the remaining supporters, in turn angering those who had left the stadium as told and missed their reappearance. Add into that what seemed to be a farewell walk around the stadium by Harry Kane and you can just about sum up the wretched mood at the club and where it was heading.

Fast forward a year and a full Tottenham Hotspur Stadium cheered their players lap of honour with full voices on Sunday afternoon after they had just put themselves into fourth place with one match to go.

Eric Dier calls on Antonio Conte to stay at Tottenham and continue 'special relationship'

Antonio Conte has got the Spurs fans eating out of the palm of his hand right now. They were singing his name with barely two minutes gone of the match. The Italian was waving to them all after the game and even for Kane, this felt like a different day for the striker. He was joined by his family on the pitch, with one of his daughters sprinting across the turf in to his arms.

Son Heung-min once again deservedly swept up most of the post-match awards - One Hotspur Player of the Year, Junior One Hotspur Player of the Year and Official Supporters’ Clubs Player of the Year. He missed out on only one award
