Thomas Frank has faced challenges in gaining the support of Tottenham fans, who have raised concerns about his coaching methods and whether he possesses the necessary presence to lead the team back up the Premier League standings.
These growing frustrations were evident following a lackluster performance in the 4-1 derby defeat to Arsenal and a disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Fulham.
On a positive note, Spurs demonstrated resilience by battling back to draw 2-2 against Newcastle, showcasing signs of improvement. This recent victory marks a significant milestone as they finally secured a win at home.
Prior to this match, Tottenham had endured a tough run at home in 2025, winning only three out of 16 league games while losing ten. Frank will need to address this trend moving forward.
This victory was just their second home league win of the season, following an opening match triumph against Burnley, and there were many encouraging signs for Frank to build upon.
Additionally, Xavi Simons justified the club’s investment of £52 million to acquire him from RB Leipzig, effectively orchestrating the play behind an attacking trio of Mohammed Kudus, Richarlison, and Randal Kolo Muani.
Though Tottenham haven’t had many memorable moments at home this year, this match certainly stood out.
