Frank defends Tottenham after Burnley draw: 'Dubravka was man of the match'

"I don't think it was a bad performance. It was maybe not the result we hoped for. I think the performance, if you look at it throughout the game, especially the first half, was good. The way we ended the game, good. Average second half, which you've seen many times. Then unfortunately it lacked with two moments where we didn't defend it well enough. That's what we are working very, very hard on, to try to get on top of."

"After easing some of the pressure on Frank with a win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League in midweek, it was a familiar tale for Tottenham in the Premier League as they endured more frustration. Micky van de Ven fired Tottenham into a 38th-minute lead, only for Axel Tuanzebe to level on the stroke of half-time. Lyle Foster completed the turnaround for relegation-threatened Burnley 14 minutes from the end of normal time, but late Spurs pressure told as Romero's 90th-minute header sealed a share of the spoils."

Tottenham came from 2-1 down to draw 2-2 with Burnley at Turf Moor, Cristian Romero scoring a 90th-minute header to secure a point. Micky van de Ven opened the scoring before Axel Tuanzebe equalised on the stroke of half-time and Lyle Foster put Burnley ahead late in the second half. Tottenham sit eight points above the relegation zone and eight points from Champions League places, prompting fan chants against manager Thomas Frank. Frank defended the display, citing an average second half and defensive lapses, and praised work to correct the issues while noting strong performances elsewhere.
