Thomas Frank press conference LIVE - Tottenham boss on Xavi and Romero red cards against Liverpool

Thomas Frank is holding his press conference following Tottenham's 2-0 defeat against Liverpool on Saturday night in the Premier League.

Spurs were down to 10 men just after the half hour mark when VAR told referee John Brooks to look again at his decision to hand Xavi Simons a yellow card for a clumsy challenge on Virgil van Dijk and the man in black duly flourished the red card as he watched the Dutchman trail his studs down his compatriot's leg.

The hosts had the better chances in the first half with Randal Kolo Muani having a hat-trick of opportunities before hitting the crossbar with a deflected effort in the second period.

However, by that point Liverpool had taken the lead in the 56th minute when Cristian Romero's pass struck the back of Alexis Mac Alister and ricocheted back towards the Spurs box. The ball was worked to Florian Wirtz, who played in Alexander Isak to fire home. The Swede took a big hit from Micky Van de Ven in doing so and departed the pitch with what looked like an ankle injury.

The visitors' second followed 10 minutes later when Hugo Ekitike rose above Romero, with the aid of a push, to head in Jeremie Frimpong's deflected looping cross.

Richarlison hit one back on 83 minutes when Joao. Palhinha's scuffed shot from a corner bounced through to the Brazilian to fire into the bottom left corner.

Romero then completed his day to forget when he picked up a second yellow card and a red for kicking out at Ibrahima Konate during a tangle on the floor.
