Antonio Conte Hilariously Accuses Tottenham Players of Trying to ‘Kill Him’ After Another Comeback Win

• Tottenham Hotspur had to come from behind once again in a dramatic comeback win over Leeds United
• The North London side left it late against the Peacocks to move to fourth, at least temporarily
• Hotspurs' Antonio Conte spoke on the game afterwards, joking his players were trying to kill him

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte joked his players were out to kill him with last-minute wins, after the North London side secured yet another dramatic comeback victory.

Conte’s side is proving to be the entertainers of the Premier League this season, as they have developed a knack of coming from behind to secure wins.

On Saturday, November 12, it was the same case as they came from behind three times before eventually claiming a crucial win over Jesse Marsch’s side.

As BBC reported, the first half was a breathless one. Crysencio Summerville opened the scoring, which was cancelled out after Harry Kane rifled home from close range.

Rodrigo put Leeds in front again, but Tottenham were level once again as Ben Davies snuck in a shot past Illan Meslier.

But the Peacocks would once again take the 'Leed' through the in-form Rodrigo, who bagged his fifth goal in four league matches. However, Uruguayan Rodrigo Bentancur had the last laugh as his brace helped Spurs turn the game on its head.

After the game, Conte spoke on Talksport where he commented on his side’s tendency to mount late comebacks.

“What a game. I said to my players that I understood that slowly, slowly they want to kill me with this type of game,” the Italian tactician said. “In the last period I think they attempted a lot... For many, many games we were losing, but we were good to come back.

The win took Spurs to fourth place - at least temporarily - as they have played two games more than Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United.

Meanwhile, Tottenham will not be in action again until late December, and Conte expressed his desire to see a bit more stability in his team by then.

Jadon Sancho dubbed bad signing

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported on how Jadon Sancho was heavily criticised by former Manchester United player Paul Parker, who said the winger could end up being the worst signing by the club.

Sancho joined Man United in July 2021 and has yet to hit the ground running, almost halfway into his second season at the club.

The 22-year-old has failed to replicate his excellent form for Dortmund, forcing England boss Gareth Southgate to leave him out of the 2022 World Cup squad.
