(Why are people making such a big deal over this?)
Chelsea took a significant step towards becoming Premier League champions on Wednesday evening.
Just days after Christian Benteke struck a Peppa Pig and Friends-inspired blow to their title aspirations, they bounced back, seeing off Manchester City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.
The victory leaves them seven points clear at the Premier League summit, but, were it not for what happened during the final few minutes at the Liberty Stadium, the gap would’ve been wider. Having trailed Swansea for most of the match, second-place Tottenham bagged an equaliser through Dele Alli with a couple of minutes of regulation time remaining. Not only that, stoppage time goals from Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen saw them take all three points.
But how would Antonio Conte take such news? Thankfully, Twitter being Twitter, a clip claiming to show the precise moment the Italian was informed of Spurs’ late turnaround was soon doing the rounds.
If we’re being honest, we’ve no idea how anyone has been able to say with authority that this was the exact second Conte learned of Spurs’ win, but hey, let’s not let the truth get in the way of a widely-circulated seven-second video.
After all, people bloody love to retweet a good video of Conte reacting to things, don’t they? Even if his reaction is to simply turn around and rub his cheek a little bit, it still manages to clock up over 600 retweets.
