Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has defended the use of his tactics in his side's defeat at Premier League leaders Manchester City.
The Blues produced a surprisingly negative display and failed to have a shot on target in the match as Bernardo Silva's goal less than a minute into the second half sealed the game and pushed Manchester City 18 points clear at the top and closer to the title.
