Antonio Conte thanked Chelsea’s supporters for their backing after his team returned to form during Monday’s 3-0 defeat of West Brom. Their three goals were followed by chants of support from the club’s fans for Conte, and the 48-year-old said: “I have to thank the fans. They showed me great support because they are reading speculation and rumours about me. It’s very important to feel that people appreciate my work here in Chelsea. A bit of that, a bit of team building and a lot of hard work as well.”
