Premier League: Antonio Conte backs Harry Kane for World Cup after Tottenham Hotspur win

Due to Rodrigo Bentancur's brace, Leeds led 3-2 with less than ten minutes remaining, and Antonio Conte's team appeared to be bowing out before the World Cup with a third consecutive home league loss.

In a thrilling match where Jesse Marsch's squad had the lead three times, Spurs defied their gruelling schedule by rallying to win.

Crysencio Summerville set the tone for an exciting contest with his fourth goal in four games on the 10th-minute mark, but Harry Kane responded with an equaliser.

Rodrigo Bentancur immediately restored Leeds' advantage before Ben Davies struck just after the break. Rodrigo Bentancur's deft finish in the final 14 minutes gave Leeds the impression that they had won the game.

The anguish of Leeds was increased when Tyler Adams was sent off for a second caution with three minutes remaining.

The victory solidifies Spurs' position in the top four, while Leeds falls two spots to fourteenth.

After the game, the Italian manager expressed his delight at his team's success but conceded that his club's recruitment needs improvement to fight with the best teams and for the biggest prizes.

After his team's thrilling victory, Antonio Conte suggested adding more talent to his Tottenham squad.

"You need patience, you need the transfer market to improve the quality of your squad," Conte said. "Today you have seen the difference to have Kulusevski, Richarlison. It's important for me the coach to work with these players. If you see the improvement of Rodrigo and Hojbjerg, it's huge."

'This needs to be matched though with improving the squad if you want to fight for something important.'

Rodrigo Bentancur's brace elicited wild celebrations from both Tottenham Hotspur Stadium's fans and the Spurs bench, as Antonio Conte and his staff expressed their relief at earning three points.

Antonio Conte gives Harry Kane his “support” to win the World Cup

Despite concerns of exhaustion before England's opening encounter against Iran on November 21, Antonio Conte believes Harry Kane is in peak mental and physical shape as he departs for Qatar.

Harry Kane played for 90 minutes and netted on his final Spurs game before the Qatar tournament break as Spurs defeated Leeds 4-3.

Since October, the England captain has played more minutes (1,137) across all Premier League competitions than any other player.

Antonio Conte said, "He's arriving at the World Cup in the best physical and mental condition. I think he feels a lot of responsibility as he is the captain of England. I consider England one of the best teams in the world and one of the candidates to have an important tournament. I wish the best for Harry and England. As Italy aren't playing, I can be a supporter of England."
