Manager much happier with display in 5-3 loss at PSG
Spurs hoping to improve home form by beating Fulham
Thomas Frank has said he much preferred Tottenham’s “front-footed” performance in their 5-3 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain to their cautious approach against Arsenal a few days earlier.
Frank was heavily criticised for fielding a back five at the Emirates Stadium for Sunday’s 4-1 defeat and his side responded with a more ambitious display against the European champions. Spurs led twice before being overwhelmed by Vitinha’s hat-trick.
Randal Kolo Muani, on loan from PSG, scored his first goals for Spurs and the teenagers Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray started in central midfield. They could retain their places against Fulham on Saturday as Tottenham attempt to win at home in the Premier League for the first time since the opening weekend but the captain, Cristian Romero, is suspended. With pressure mounting on Frank after three wins in the past 12 games, he wants Spurs to continue to show attacking endeavour.
