Pressure increases for Frank after Tottenham salvage draw at Burnley

Thomas Frank faced fresh calls for his dismissal from angry Tottenham fans after a dispiriting 2-2 draw at Premier League strugglers Burnley on Saturday.

Spurs boss Frank is under intense pressure just seven months into his reign at the London club, seemingly powerless to halt a slide down the table.

The Dane breathed a sigh of relief after a 2-0 midweek win against Borussia Dortmund kept his team flying high in the Champions League but they are floundering domestically.

Captain Cristian Romero's flying 90th-minute header salvaged a point for the visitors at Turf Moor but it was not enough to placate frustrated fans.

Tottenham had taken the lead courtesy of Micky van de Ven's strike before goals from Axel Tuanzebe and substitute Lyle Foster turned the match on its head.

A large section of the travelling support made it clear they had run out of patience with Frank, who insisted the team were working "very hard."

Tottenham's winless league run in 2026 is now five matches and they sit 14th in the table, eight points above the relegation zone.

"I'm sure they can recognise and acknowledge, especially in the first half, the improvement there," said former Brentford boss Frank. "We could and should have been out of sight.

"But also they acknowledge the willpower and character of the team that keep running, keep fighting to the end.

"We just need to keep going. We do so many things right, but there's no doubt, it's not dropping so easy for us."
