Tottenham squad verdict of Thomas Frank reveals one concern amid ‘desperation' for transfer priority
Joao Pedro's smart finish inside the penalty box was enough to earn Chelsea a comfortable 1-0 win over Tottenham in north London on Saturday - and the only regret Enzo Maresca's side will have is that the didn't pile on more misery for Spurs. A convincing performance‚ led by the tenacity and rigour of Moises Caicedo in midfield‚ saw Chelsea dismantle Thomas Frank's side with ease and leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with the satisfaction of climbing level on points with their London rivals in the Premier League table. Meanwhile‚ it was a torrid afternoon for Tottenham‚ who were booed off the pitch by their own fans after a disjointed and lacklustre display on home soil.
KIERAN GILL AT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Thomas Frank admitted he was 'massively hurt' to have managed Tottenham's lowest-ever expected-goals total in a Premier League game‚ adding he understood why his own players in Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven gave him the cold shoulder after full-time. Spurs' xG of 0.05 was the worst recorded by Spurs since the metric entered football in 2012. They were booed by their own supporters at the end of this loss to Chelsea‚ with Frank conceding he '100 per cent' understood their outpouring of frustration. Frank performed his usual post-match lap of appreciation to applaud those supporters left in the stadium‚ but Spence and Van de Ven ignored their manager when he tried speaking with them. Spence in particular appeared to wave his arms in disgust as they approached the tunnel.
Xavi Simons hit a new low when he was brought on and later substituted by Thomas Frank during Tottenham's Premier League clash with Chelsea.

United have won three matches in a row‚ beating Sunderland ‚ Liverpool ‚ and Brighton ‚ and could make it five if they get the better of Nottingham Forest and Tottenham in their next two matches.
