'I like performance,' says Conte, but Spurs boss identifies areas for improvement

Antonio Conte has called on Tottenham to be more clinical despite extending their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a 2-1 win over Fulham.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane have scored in every half as Spurs have gone six top-flight games unbeaten this season.

Kane's strike with a quarter of an hour remaining seemed to put the game to bed, but Aleksandar Mitrovic cut the deficit seven minutes from time to set up a nervy finale.

"Of course the performance, yeah I like the performance," said Spurs boss Conte. "Also against Southampton we put in a good performance.

"If I have to find a situation that needs to be improved, it's to be more clinical because when you create so many chances, you have to score but we scored two goals disallowed, then the crossbar .

"Yes, I really enjoyed seeing my players play the ball with quality and personality."

Son Heung-min saw his goal drought stretch into a sixth game, but was back to his usual best against Fulham with an effort against the crossbar and a cross shot disallowed for offside.

"I keep telling you that I'm not worried because when I see this type of performance from my players, including Sonny, I'm not worried. I know they're going to score a lot of goals. "

"I think they have shown that they are very good players who can improve us a lot to become stronger and also to make the team deeper and give me the possibility of rotations without loss of quality ", said Conte.< /p>
