Sky Sports exclusive: Tottenham assistant Cristian Stellini on how Spurs have responded to Antonio Contes absence, bouncing back after two straight defeats ...
"Not only are they young players, they can play and will have to play in the future. We will use this week to not only have a rest day, but also to work in some aspects to play many games." They created a great balance for us defensively, offensively and in the transition; they stopped the transition of AC Milan many times." "We have to be wary because West Ham have a particular skill, they are strong. "It's dangerous, but also we are happy at the moment with the performances of Skipp and Sarr. It was a game where we conceded a goal in a situation we could control and my expectation is to play a great game on Sunday against West Ham because we need and deserve it. They have power, they are tall, they are strong in counter-attacks, strong in set-pieces, so they will be difficult to play against. "We don't know if the pain [he felt during the AC Milan game] came from stress or the small time he took to recover because to stay in charge and live football like Antonio does normally is with passion and maybe this passion brought more pain for him. We understand he needs to recover from the surgery and now he needs to take his time. We want to play a game and win. "But this time is good only for his recovery because when Antonio is far from his job, he's not happy. He continues: "Antonio is recovering and is a bit upset because he cannot be here with us.

Richarlison played 68 minutes in Tottenham's 2-0 win over West Ham as Antonio Conte and Cristian Stellini handed him his first start since early November.
Whatever comes his way over the next few months, Tottenham need to see so much more from their £60m man at such a vital time in the campaign. Aside from the hard work that Richarlison always brings to the team, Spurs, and the player for that matter, very much need end product in the final third right now. In that moment you have to take a decision and it is difficult with a player like Sonny to drop them, but you have to do it because we have a lot of matches. We had to fight in the first half and when they stretch the team and we have more space, we can use players like Sonny and players to attack the space."

It is the 45th combination goal between them in the Premier League. First, Richarlison with a shot too close to the West Ham keeper.
