‘You never heard it from me’ – Gary Lineker makes Conte Tottenham claim

Gary Lineker took to Twitter following Tottenham Hotspur’s 4-0 win against Aston Villa to praise Antonio Conte.

The Italian has continued his remarkable turnaround of Tottenham’s fortunes with his side emphatically putting Villa to the sword in the second half to tighten their grip on fourth place in the Premier League table.

North London rivals Arsenal slipped up at home earlier in the day having lost 2-1 to Brighton which gave Spurs the incentive of knowing what a victory at Villa Park would mean.

At the final whistle, Tottenham extended their lead over the Gunners to three points, as well as boasting a superior goal difference.

Lineker believes that Conte has Spurs ‘buzzing’ again having overcome a tough patch of form in February which looked to have all but ended their hopes of returning to the Champions League.
