​Tottenham boss Conte: We don't have anybody like Bergwijn

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte was full of praise for winger Steven Bergwijn after his side's late win over Leicester City.

Spurs won the game against Leicester 3-2 in remarkable fashion away from home.

Having trailed with a minute left on the clock within stoppage time, Bergwijn equalised, only to go and score the winner a minute later after Leicester kicked off the game.

On the match-winner, Conte told BT Sport: "I spoke about Steve in the past. For me he is an important player with a special type of characteristics. No-one else in the team has these characteristics.

"He is good technically, he beats the man, he is a striker and in good physical condition. It is an important choice for me - I can make him in the starting XI or bring him on in the game."
