The Englishman also took a sly dig at Conte’s repeated complaints about Chelsea’s transfer strategy.
It was nearly 2-0 in the 42nd minute when Marcos Alonso was denied by Lloris and Jan Vertonghen made a superb clearance to prevent Morata from grabbing a second.

We start with the team likely to end as runner-up. Instead, the Blues sit fifth in the standings with the hopes of Champions League football for the next season all but gone.
Former Chelsea player and manager Gianluca Vialli has claimed that Antonio Conte “is nearly looking forward” to leaving the club in the summer. “He’s a great, great player”, Kane, who finished last two seasons as the league’s top scorer, said. “Now the moment is to try to continue to work with great professionalism”.
