Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Franksays Cristian Romero was merely suffering from cramp after being replaced with what looked like an injury in the 2-2 draw with Burnley.
Spurs had gone ahead at Turf Moor when Micky van de Ven struck during the first-half, however the Clarets hit back and managed to turn things around when Lyle Foster put the hosts 2-1 in front with 14 minutes of normal time remaining.
The visitors pressed for an equaliser and it appeared as though the opportunity to equalise would go begging in injury time when Xavi Simons hit the crossbar.
Howeber, that was not the end of it and captain Romero scored with a bullet header, rifled into the roof of Martin Dubravka's goal, rescuing a point for Frank's side.
The goal prompted wild celebrations from Romero himself. In the madness, the goalscorer kicked the electronic advertising boards in front of the travelling Spurs supporters.
Though the exact origin of the issue was unclear, Romero was seen clutching the back of his left leg afterwards and Frank was forced to bring Radu Dragusin on in his place for the remainder of stoppage time.
"Romero was cramping in the end," the Spurs boss told football.london at full-time.
