Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits the form of his wing-backs is crucial to the success of his playing system.

Sergio Reguilon scored in victory over Everton, while Matt Doherty produced two assists.

“In this type of system, the wing-backs are of fundamental importance," said Conte. “Our wing-backs are improving and we are working on specific work for this role.

“I'm pleased for Doherty, for Matt. He is one of the players who is most improved since my arrival. Now, he's showing great personality, great quality. My expectation is the same for Emerson, Reguilon and Sessegnon. They are improving and showing the will to improve.

Conte added: “I was happy for Sergio Reguilon because he came in and scored. He's another player who has a lot of space for improvement and my expectation that he improves his level. Doherty is another player who I'd like to underline the improvement and then also we have Emerson."
