Conte's verdict“I think it was good performance against a good team. They are a dangerous team: you can see they have been working for many years with the same manager. To keep a clean sheet for us is very important. We had chances to improve the final result but, in the end, I’m happy. I have seen great commitment from the players. For sure we need to improve but today it was a good win. It was a good reaction to the game against Mura. In losses you learn a lot. Now we have to prepare for Sunday [v Norwich]: we have to think it will be a sporting war and we must be ready.”
