Antonio Conte tells his Tottenham team to develop a 'nasty' side and deploy the dark arts to win matches as they look to back up last-gasp win at Man City with three more points at Burnley to bolster top four hopes

Antonio Conte has told his Tottenham team to be more 'nasty' and make clever use of gamesmanship in order to record more results like Saturday's win over Manchester City.

That 3-2 win at the Etihad Stadium was Tottenham's best under the Italian and they can bolster their top four ambitions with three more points at Burnley on Wednesday night.

Spurs had lost three consecutive Premier League games prior to their victory over the leaders and Conte had bemoaned his side's poor game management.
