Tottenham fightback gives Conte lift-off

Nobody’s at the wheel! Manchester United finally lose patience with Solskjaer and show him the door!Tottenham needed a second-half fightback to launch Antonio Conte’s reign in charge with a 2-1 win over Leeds, while Manchester City swept aside Everton 3-0 on Sunday to go second in the Premier League.A severely depleted Leeds remain just two points above the relegation zone after threatening to spoil Conte’s first home league game since he replaced Nuno Espirito Santo.Tottenham had not even managed a shot on target in their previous two league matches and there was little change for the first 45 minutes.🇮🇹Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte firmly believes that Spurs are the right club for him to be successful once again in the Premier League:💙”I am delighted I am in the 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 club.”🏆”I think we can do a good job together.”#THFC #COYSpic.twitter.com/5FJxPXpoKq— Last Word On Spurs 🇮🇹 (@LastWordOnSpurs) November 21, 2021 Even without key men Raphinha and Patrick Bamford, a youthful Leeds were well worth their 1-0 half-time lead thanks to Daniel James’ first goal for the club.Harry Kane scored back-to-back hat-tricks for England during the international break, but has still netted just once in the Premier League this season.Kane was denied in a one-on-one with Illan Meslier and Son Heung-min’s deflected shot came off the bar as Spurs improved after the break.But the goals came from unfamiliar sources as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s scuffed shot found the bottom corner to level just before the hour-mark.Sergio Reguilon then grabbed the winner with his first Spurs goal after Eric Dier’s deflected free-kick came back off the post.A first win in four league games takes Tottenham above Manchester United, who sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday, up to seventh in the table and within four points of the top four.@Agence France-PressePREMIER LEAGUE – Round 12SaturdayLeicester – Chelsea 0-3 (0-2)/Rudiger 14.
