Thomas Frank explains cup mix-up after Arsenal's visit to Bournemouth

Goal reports that, according to BBC Sport, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank was handed his customary cup of coffee by a staff member on arrival at the Vitality after Arsenal had visited the venue on January 3. Nobody in the Spurs camp noticed what had happened. Frank told reporters at his post-match press conference: "Definitely not noticed it.

I think it's fair to say that we're not winning every single football match so it would be absolutely, completely stupid of me to take a cup with Arsenal. Is there anyone thinking I've done that? All the staff has done it. They've been in the changing room, the game before us. It's normal to take a cup, give me an espresso, I do that before every game.

I think actually it's a little bit sad in football that I need to be asked a question about that." After coming unstuck late on against Bournemouth, Spurs are now winless in three and have picked up just one victory from their last six top-flight fixtures, and unrest is mounting among supporters, the report says.
