Thomas Frank press conference LIVE – Tottenham boss on Vicario mistake, fan reaction and home form

Thomas Frank is speaking to the media at his press conference following Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat against Fulham on Saturday.

The hosts started the game horrendously. Fulham took the lead just three minutes in after some sloppy Spurs play. First Danso sent a loose header to the visitors and then Bergvall misjudged a Samuel Chukwueze pass which landed at the feet of Kenny Tete. His shot deflected off Udogie and into the net.

Then just three minutes later and Guglielmo Vicario came out to claim a ball outside of his box and inexplicably chose not to knock it out of play and instead hit a weak pass down the line and the ball eventually fell to Harry Wilson, who curled the ball from the touchline into the empty net.

Chukwueze curled an effort against the left-hand post before Micky van de Ven prevented a third Fulham goal with a last-gasp tackle to stop the same Fulham player after he had rounded Vicario.

The Spurs players gathered on the pitch in a circle as the half-time boos rang around the stadium and they returned for the second half with more intent. That brought a goal back on 59 minutes when Bergvall picked up a loose ball and chipped a ball to Kudus and the Ghanaian lashed a left-footed half-volley into the top left corner with Bernd Leno only getting fingertips to it on its way in.

Bergvall had a header cleared off the line but Spurs never really did enough after that to justify a point, let alone all three and now they have won just three games in 21 home league matches.
