Eden Hazard claims he knew he would net in Chelsea's 3-1 over Bournemouth on Saturday.
The Belgian playmaker superbly slotted home the Blues' second to take his tally to 14 league goals this season, after Adam Smith's own goal in the 17th minute.
Josh King pulled a goal back for the Cherries before half-time but Marcos Alonso sealed victory for Chelsea in the 68th minute, ensuring his side restored their seven-point cushion at the top of the Premier League table with seven games remaining.
Hazard revealed after the game he backed himself to find the net, saying: "You have teams that you know before the game that you can score, or that it's your team.
"I remember in France I always scored against the same teams, but if you want to be a top player, you have to score against every team.
"It was a good goal, I like to score against them. I scored two goals against them here last season."
Spurs' 4-0 thrashing of Watford on Saturday handed Chelsea the challenge of winning on the south coast to maintain their lead at the top, but Blues boss Conte admitted he relishes such high-pressure situations and Hazard
revealed the players are also enjoying the challenge.
He added: "It's a massive win for us, especially as we knew what Tottenham had done.
"Maybe before the game we felt pressure but once the game kicks off we just think about winning, after that we didn't think about the Tottenham result.
"We know if we want to be champions we've got to go to win every game.
"We scored two very beautiful goals in the second half."
