FT: Leeds 0-4 Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte, speaking to MOTD: "I have seen a desire and a will to fight in every moment of the game. They fight during the game and it was good for me to see this. It has to be a starting point for us. If we want to be competitive and to try to improve and build something important it is not enough to play football and enjoy football you have to win and to win you need to match good football with a great desire.
"The opponent has to understand you are here to get the points and not just enjoy the game.
"We had to put great desire and determination in every game from the start until the end and today we saw this. My teams are not soft. My teams need to be strong.
"I am not here to only enjoy football, I am here because I want to be something important for this club. I want to be competitive. My words were only this because I am not a coach to come here just to enjoy. I want to be very clear of this for everybody, my players and the people around us."
