Antonio Conte slams 'incredible' decision to disallow Harry Kane goal against Chelsea in 2-0 defeat, after England captain is penalised for push on Thiago Silva

Antonio Conte angrily branded the decision to disallow Harry Kane’s first-half goal as ‘incredible’ following Tottenham’s loss to Chelsea.

Kane saw his goal - that would have put Spurs 1-0 up - chalked off by referee Paul Tierney for a push on Thiago Silva, a decision VAR backed up.
