Tottenham hero Les Ferdinand says Antonio Conte will be under pressure due to Arsenal leading the table.

Conte's side lost 2-1 at home to Newcastle on Sunday - their second Premier League defeat of the week - and lost further ground on North London rivals Arsenal.

Despite the Gunners only drawing 1-1 with Southampton, the side are top of the league by two points, five clear of Tottenham with a game in hand.

QPR chief Ferdinand said: '"t highlights the losses when the opposition across the road is doing so well. He's missing four key players today so I understand his frustrations today. It's going to take time.

"He's asking the club how committed they are to his process. He's asking for the support so he can sign a new contract, hopefully Harry Kane will sign a new contract. I think style is an issue.

"For me, watching Spurs over the years the supporters have always wanted a style here. If you haven't got the style you have to be winning something."
