Thomas Frank is holding his press conference following the 1-0 against Villarreal on Tuesday night after his first ever Champions League game.
The game was just four minutes old when Tottenham took the lead thanks to a remarkable gaffe from Villarreal goalkeeper Luiz Junior. Lucas Bergvall fried in a low cross that was too close to the keeper who dived down but spilled it out of his hands, across his body and into the net.
In an otherwise uneventful first half, Spurs had a couple of half-hearted penalty appeals rejected by the referee and quick VAR checks for a challenge on Richarlison and then a handball claim.
Tottenham were poor in the second half and it was the visitors who went close on a couple of occasions through former Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe. Spurs held on despite some nervy moments in the final moments to kick off their Champions League return with a narrow victory which featured just one shot on target.
Our Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold is among those putting the questions to Frank after the game. Scroll down for his latest updates from the press conference at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
