Antonio Conte worked with Manolo Gabbiadini for two years when he was Italy boss and earlier this year the Chelsea manager hailed the 26-year-old as one of the best left-footed players in the world.

Conte spoke highly of his former player after today’s victory as he addressed the press after the match.

After the win, Conte came on to the pitch to congratulate his players for a good game and as he headed towards the dressing room, he gave Gabbiadini a hug before having a quick chat with the forward.
