Tottenham boss Conte delighted with Liverpool draw: Exciting game

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte was pleased after their 2-2 draw with Liverpool.

Conte was happy seeing Harry Kane on the scoresheet and Dele Alli also finding form.

He said, "I think it was an exciting game and we created many chances to score and win the game. We have to be a bit disappointed for the draw. For sure we played against a really strong team.

"For the chances we created, we go home with the thought instead of one point it could be three points.

"We prepared a plan. It's not simple to defend against them. When we're in possession I said we could create problems for Liverpool. This happened today. The supporters have seen a good exciting game.

"I don't want to speak about the decision of the referee. I think the game was good for both teams. Harry played a good game. He scored a goal of vital importance. He had chances to score other goals. He's an important player for us.

"Dele Alli played a good game. With this formation with three midfielders he can play as a midfielder and I think he's strong physically. If he was a bit effective he could score but the performance was good. It's important to understand about the players I can count now for the future. Also to find the right solution for formation. To have two possibilities is good for the team."
