Thomas Frank sets unfortunate Tottenham record that even Mourinho and Conte avoided

Tottenham set a record during their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea, and it is one that will make Thomas Frank squirm.

Spurs have been extremely poor at home this season, having now managed just four points from 15 on offer in the Premier League.

The Lilywhites have not won in front of their supporters since the opening weekend of the season, and the display in the London derby was their worst of the season so far.

Boos rang around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during the final whistle against Chelsea after the home side struggled to even lay a glove on their London rivals.

Tottenham register their lowest-ever xG against Chelsea

According to OptaJoe, Tottenham Hotspur registered a shocking xG of just 0.05 against the Blues after mustering just one shot on target through the 90 minutes.

That is the worst xG Spurs have ever registered since the stat has been recorded at the start of the 2012-13 season. During those 12 years, Tottenham have played 504 Premier League matches.

The data thus suggests that Saturday’s game is the least attacking threat Tottenham have offered in over 500 Premier League games, which does not make for pretty reading for Frank.

Frank admits he has never presided over a worse attacking performance

Speaking after the game, the Tottenham boss acknowledged that his side were nowhere near the required level against Chelsea.

When he was told that his side registered an xG of 0.05, Frank admitted he had never been in charge of a team that created so little in one game through his managerial career.

However, the 52-year-old insisted that he is confident Spurs will click as an attacking force once his new-look frontline gets used to playing with one another.
