Tottenham Hotspur have had a mixed start to life under Thomas Frank. The team’s early promising performances have fizzled out of late, with Spurs winning just one of their last five games.

Thomas Frank and Co. were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Newcastle United last week, ending their dreams of an unprecedented quadruple. They had hoped to turn things around against Chelsea, end their poor form against the west London side and jump to second in the table. However, the scripts did not go as per the plan as their misery continued against Chelsea, losing 1-0 on Saturday thanks to a first-half goal from Joao Pedro.

It was Djed Spence’s sloppy pass that sold Micky van de Ven short, allowing Moises Caicedo to win the ball, drive into the box and set up Joao Pedro for Chelsea’s opening goal. Eventually, it turned out to be the winner, as Tottenham lost yet again in front of their passionate home fans.
