Tottenham striker Harry Kane hailed manager Antonio Conte assistants for driving them to victory at Champions League opponents Olympique Marseille.

Trailing to Chancel Mbemba's goal after a listless first half, Clement Lenglet equalised before Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg scored with the last kick of the game to ensure Spurs won the group and will be seeded in Monday's last-16 draw.

Conte was banned from the touchline and dressing room, and not allowed to communicate with his staff and players until 15 minutes after full-time.

“We showed great desire in the second half, great mentality," Kane told the London Evening Standard.

“It's kind of been the story of our season so far, we've been more of a second-half team. There were a few words said by a few people at half-time: that we had to be more aggressive, have more intensity. We came out in the second half and did that.

“I'm not going to go into all the details but Hugo [Lloris], being the captain, [spoke] and Cristian [Stellini] and Ryan [Mason], obviously standing in for Antonio.

“We've been in that situation before this season, which we're a little more used to than we want to be. But we weren't panicking, which is the most important thing.

“We knew it was one goal and we could still qualify and we're a team that always feels like we're going to get chances, especially in the second half of games when teams get tired. That's what happened but full credit to the boys and staff."
