Tottenham boss Conte: Doherty working hard and improving

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is delighted with what he's seeing from Matt Doherty.

He scored the opener and assisted Dejan Kulusevski five minutes later in Saturday's 4-0 rout at Leeds United, and Conte has heaped praise on his development and attitude during his stint in the dugout so far.

He said: "Doherty is another player that is improved. He has worked a lot. I like him because if he plays or doesn't play, he is committed, and his attitude is always at the top.

"He understood that he can be an important part of this team with Emerson on the right, but Doherty can also play on the left. I was pleased to see him at this [high] level [against Leeds], also Ryan Sessegnon.

"Now we have [also] recovered Sergio Reguilon. We are improving, and we are working hard. When there are defeats, we have to learn and continue to improve in many aspects."
