Antonio Conte has sent a message to the Tottenham fans after the Lilywhites were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. Spurs failed to respond from Saturday's North London Derby defeat, registering just two shots on target against last season's Europa League winners.
The draw leaves Tottenham with just four points from their first three group stage games. They are at risk of not qualifying for the knockout stages of the competition, sitting second in the group, only ahead of Frankfurt on goal difference.
It was a frustrating night for Spurs, who looked blunt in the final third as Harry Kane and Richarlison were kept quiet. Conte's side have only scored two goals so far in the competition - which were both in the opening night win over Marseille.

Despite an under-par performance and a second successive disappointing result in Europe, Conte believes the struggles his side experienced in Frankfurt will help them in the long-term, while he thanked the travelling Tottenham fans for their backing.
In a post on his Instagram story, Conte said: "Tough moments help teams grow. Thank you Spurs fans for your important support tonight. #AllTogether."
