On a day that

failed to keep their initial lead in the game against

,

Antonio Conte

has talked about his satisfaction with

performance, insisting that the England international is developing to an important part of the Spurs.

Conte told Sky Sports:

"He played a good game. With this formation with three midfielders, he can play as a midfielder and I think he's strong physically, he's good technically, good penetration.

"If he was a bit [more] effective he could score but the performance was good. It's important to understand about the players I can count [on] now and for the future, also to find the right solution for a formation.

"Previously we played 3-4-2-1, today we played 3-5-2. To have two possibilities is good for me, good for the team and it gives the possibility to many players to be involved."

The manager who hasn’t been defeated in the Premier League since his arrival at the club says that they deserved more than just one point.

"I think it was an exciting game and we created many chances to score and win the game,"

he added.

"We have to be a bit disappointed for the draw. For sure we played against a really strong team.

"For the chances we created, we go home with the thought instead of one point it could be three points.

"We prepared a plan. It's not simple to defend against them. When we're in possession I said we could create problems for Liverpool. This happened today. The supporters have seen a good, exciting game.

"I don't want to speak about the decision of the referee [on Kane's challenge on Robertson]. I think the game was good for both teams. Harry played a good game. He scored a goal of vital importance. He had chances to score other goals. He's an important player for us."
