Tottenham press conference LIVE - Thomas Frank on Xavi, Odobert, Solanke and Bergvall injury

2 hours ago 35

Thomas Frank is holding his press conference following the 2-0 win against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night in the Champions League.

A makeshift Spurs side, with 13 unavailable players, opened the scoring 14 minutes into the contest. Wilson Odobert swung and missed a volley but the ball fell perfectly for the Frenchman to run on and fire in a low cross that Spurs captain Cristian Romero turned in with a deft flick of his foot.

Then 25 minutes he referee Glenn Nyberg was advised to go over to his pitch-side monitor to look at Daniel Svensson's high challenge on Odobert and he duly upgraded the booking he had initially dished out to a red card.

Dominic Solanke, on his first start in eight months, then scored a second for Spurs. It came through a second assist for Odobert who played a one-two with Pedro Porro before hitting a low cross that Solanke managed to hit off both feet before it rolled into the net.

The home side did not take advantage of their extra man in the second half but did have the better chances with both Randal Kolo Muani and Porro wasting one-vs-one opportunities and Xavi Simons creating plenty throughout.

It was still a much-needed victory for Tottenham and Frank, making it 24 consecutive games unbeaten now at home in Europe for the club.
