Here’s the story of Chelsea’s victory over Tottenham using Antonio Conte’s face

That’s what they did, winning 1-0 at Wembley. In true form, Antonio Conte’s expressive face did all the talking about how he was feeling.

Here’s what you need to know about the game, with a little help from the man himself.

Nerves were probably high as Chelsea entered Tottenham’s temporary home.
