The hosts’ goal celebration started with an own goal from Michael Keane (14′) and then from Son Heung-min (17′), Harry Kane (37′, 55′) and Sergio Reguilon (46′).
It was Spurs’ first home win after two straight defeats at home to Southampton and Wolves.
“It’s good for us to celebrate this result because we won five goals. But, I want an answer from the players in the match against Man United on Saturday,” Conte said post-match to Sky Sports.
“I want to see if we get better in a more difficult match against an important team who are fighting with us to finish in the top four,” said the Lecce-born allenatore.
“Saturday will be the night that many people have been waiting for. It will be a very difficult game and we have to show that we come stronger.”
Spurs are now in seventh place with a collection of 45 points plus two games postponed. The Lilywhites are only two points adrift of United—who were bent by Man City 4-1 last weekend—in fifth place.
As for the first meeting, Man United won 3-0 at home to Spurs. The result of the match also led to the sacking of Nuno Espirito Santo before Conte’s appointment.
