'His best game yet': Glenn Hoddle praises Tottenham midfielder Oliver Skipp after fine showing as Spurs beat Brentford - but boss Antonio Conte wants him to improve with the ball

Glenn Hoddle has lavished praise on Tottenham star Oliver Skipp after a positive performance in his side's win against Brentford - but manager Antonio Conte insisted he needs to improve with the ball.

Conte's side eased past the Bees on Thursday evening, with a Sergi Canos own goal and Son Heung-min's second-half finish giving them a 2-0 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And former Spurs midfielder Hoddle reserved special admiration for central midfielder Skipp, 21, who was generally positive and progressive in possession and tigerish without the ball.
