Thomas Frank has addressed the confrontation between Tottenham players Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro and the travelling supporters following their 2-1 loss to Bournemouth. The Spurs boss admitted that frustration levels are high after the team's poor run of form.
Speaking after the match, Frank said: 'I haven't seen that situation, that's one thing. I think it's fair to say everyone involved in Tottenham, players, staff, fans, everyone is a tough one to take today.' He added that the performance was good overall, particularly in the second half, and that the result was extremely painful.
Frank also addressed the incident involving him drinking from an Arsenal-branded cup before the game, which was captured by photographers. He dismissed the notion as 'completely stupid', insisting he was unaware of the cup's logo and that such matters should not be a focus in football.
Antoine Semenyo scored a 95th-minute winner for Bournemouth in what was his final appearance before joining Manchester City. The defeat extended Tottenham's winless run to just two victories in their last 12 Premier League matches, leaving them 14th in the table.
Frank confirmed that the club is active in the January transfer market, but admitted it is difficult to bring in players who can improve the squad. He also provided an update on injuries, with Lucas Bergvall and Rodrigo Bentancur both being substituted off.
