On Matchday 28 of the English Premier League, Tottenham missed out on a two-goal win over Southampton (3-3). Spurs head coach Antonio Conte remained unhappy that it was not the first time this season that his team has lost a winning result in the final stretch of a match.

I think I can tell you that today because we're winning 3-1 with 15 minutes to go, and I think in a situation like that you have to win. Things started to get better last season, but we lost that character. I don't want to talk about the technical aspect, the team lacks character.
We're not a team. We're a team where everyone only thinks about himself. When you're in that state, you get knocked out of the FA Cup by Sheffield United, knocked out of the Champions League by AC Milan. And now today's match... I do not see a sense of responsibility from the players.
They are used to it here. They don't play for something important. They do not want to play under pressure. This is the history of Tottenham! For 20 years this owner has been here and they've never won anything. Why is that? This is the first time a club like this has ever happened in my coaching career.
It's always the same thing, every season. Whoever is the head coach here. If they want to continue the same way, they can change coaches, a lot of coaches, but things can't change. Believe me," Antonio Conte said at the post-match press conference.
