Reports attribute the episode to a staff mix-up after Arsenal's earlier visit to Bournemouth.

Overview

  • A widely shared photo showed Thomas Frank drinking from a cup with Arsenal's logo before Tottenham's match at AFC Bournemouth.
  • Frank said he did not notice the crest and insisted he would not have used the cup knowingly.
  • Coverage citing the BBC reported that Arsenal-branded items were left from their game at the same venue days earlier and a staff member handed Frank the cup.
  • Tottenham lost 2-3 to Bournemouth and sit 14th in the Premier League with only two wins in their last twelve league matches.
