At London Stadium, David Moyes’ team rallied after falling behind 1-0 to draw with Spurs and keep their perfect record.
Conte’s team is currently in third place with a record of three wins, two draws, and five total games played. However, on Wednesday, the two teams ahead of them—North London rivals Arsenal and reigning champion Manchester City—each claimed victories.
When Peter Bankes pointed to the spot for an Aaron Cresswell handball, Spurs believed they had a penalty. However, the referee reversed his decision after a thorough review by VAR and after seeing the incident on the pitchside monitor.
“Honestly, at the end of the first half, I spoke with the referee and told him ‘you have taken the right decision’,” Conte told BT Sport.
“It is incredible that VAR looked again, called the referee, he can see it was the right decision and the call from VAR was strange. I can tell only that the referee has taken the right decision. Usually the VAR calls when the call is not right.”
