"Thomas Frank endured a frustrating return to former club Brentford as Tottenham were held to a goalless draw in the Premier League. Frank managed the Bees for seven years and 317 games before joining Spurs and received a warm reception as he strode out on to the pitch and applauded all four sides of his old ground before kick-off. But that was about as good as it got for the Dane with Spurs not managing a single effort on target until stoppage time and their fans chanting 'boring, boring Tottenham' towards the end of a dour encounter."
"Spurs had to wait 33 minutes for a half-chance, when Richarlison cushioned a volley across goal and Archie Gray's header was blocked by the shoulder of Nathan Collins. There was a brief VAR check for a penalty when Gray went down in the box under a challenge from Kevin Schade, but it was quickly dismissed. Richarlison could have stolen the points at the death but his finish was as lame as Tottenham's performance as it flew into the arms of Bees keeper Caoimhin Kelleher."
Thomas Frank returned to Brentford as Tottenham were held to a 0-0 draw in the Premier League. Frank, who managed Brentford for seven years and 317 games, received a warm reception before kick-off. Spurs did not have a shot on target until stoppage time and faced chants of 'boring, boring Tottenham' late in the match. Tottenham have seven clean sheets in 19 games under Frank this season, more than the six in 38 under Ange Postecoglou last season. Brennan Johnson was absent from the travelling squad amid a possible move to Crystal Palace. Key moments included a blocked Archie Gray header, a brief VAR penalty check that was dismissed, and a late Richarlison effort saved by Caoimhin Kelleher. Brentford made a midfield change with Jordan Henderson replacing Mathias Jensen. Igor Thiago had 11 goals in 18 Premier League appearances but had been playing through pain; Sepp van den Berg returned to the bench and Josh Dasilva had a knee ligament issue.
