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.
