Thomas Frank is holding his press conference after Tottenham's 4-1 defeat at Arsenal on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League.
After a scrappy opening half hour with little in the way of opportunities, the hosts opened the scoring when Mikel Merino chipped a ball over the top and Destiny Udogie played Leandro Trossard onside and the Belgian took a neat touch, turned and rolled it into the net.
The Gunners doubled their lead before half-time. Spurs failed to clear the ball away on a number of occasions and it fell to Eberechi Eze, and the England international, who was close to joining Tottenham in the summer before Arsenal came in, took a touch and fired in a low shot that Vicario could not keep out.
Within a minute of the second half beginning the scoreline ticked over to 3-0 as Eze hit another low shot into the bottom left corner of the net from the edge of the Spurs penalty area.
Richarlison then hit a wonderful consolation goal for the visitors. Joao Palhinha made a great sliding tackle on Martin Zubimendi and the Brazilian clipped an inch-perfect shot from just past the centre circle over the back-peddling David Raya and into the net.
It was Arsenal who scored next though as Eze completed his hat-trick with a curled effort into the bottom corner to seal a rout that was fully deserved.
