Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has given a hilarious reason why he was sent off against Sporting Lisbon.
Tottenham were denied a late win against Sporting Lisbon in the dying seconds as Kane had a goal disallowed for offside.
There was a long VAR review and Conte wasn’t too happy. The Spurs coach received a red card for his actions, and now he has explained the reasoning behind it.
“I got kicked out because I’m the most popular man there!” ?
