Thomas Frank on the defensive as Tottenham slip to another home defeat

Thomas Frank defended Tottenham after they slipped to another home defeat in the Premier League with a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa.

Rodrigo Bentancur fired Spurs ahead after five minutes, but they failed to build on a strong start with Morgan Rogers’ first goal for Villa in 20 matches able to level matters in the 37th minute.

Chances remained at a premium in the second half until Villa substitute Emiliano Buendia curled the ball through a crowd of bodies after 77 minutes to inflict more home woe on the north London club.
