Win leaves elated Conte swinging from the dugout

-

ANTONIO CONTE, never one for the understate­d celebratio­n, was swinging from the dugout after their last-gasp triumph at Stoke. The delighted Italian then gave keeper Thibaut Courtois a hug (below) before embarking on his customary post-match cuddle of all his players. PS If Conte wasn’t happy enough, news from the youth team yesterday would have widened the smile on his face. The Under-18s thrashed Spurs 7-1 — 9-2 on aggregate — in front of a 3,314 crowd to qualify for the FA Youth Cup final for a sixth straight season. The future really is bright at Stamford Bridge.
