The match between Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa on Saturday saw the Spurs lose 1-0, marking their first defeat in the Premier League this season. The loss was particularly disappointing for manager Antonio Conte, who has been under pressure to improve his team's performance after a slow start to the campaign.

Conte's reaction to the loss was immediate, with him acknowledging that there were areas where his team could have performed better. "We conceded a goal we didn't deserve," he said. "It was a tough game, but I'm not happy with how it ended."

Conte also spoke about the controversy surrounding the referee's decision to award a penalty to Aston Villa in the 75th minute. "I don't know what happened in the box, but it was a very difficult moment," he said. "I can only say that it was a mistake by the referee."

Despite the loss, Conte remains confident in his team's ability to bounce back. "We have a lot of talent and quality players, so we will try to work hard and improve our performances," he said. "We have to keep fighting until the end of the season."

As for the next game, Conte is hoping to get his side back on track against Manchester United. "We need to focus on ourselves and play our best football," he said. "We have a good squad and we can still compete at the top level."
