Arsenal Cup Photo Deepens Pressure on Tottenham’s Thomas Frank After 3-2 Loss

Poor results with a low mid‑table standing have left supporters restless, heightening questions about his tenure.

Overview

  • Bournemouth beat Tottenham 3-2 with Antoine Semenyo scoring in stoppage time after Mathys Tel’s early goal and João Palhinha’s overhead equaliser.
  • Frank said he did not notice he was holding an Arsenal‑branded cup and called it “completely stupid” to do so knowingly, with reports noting Arsenal were the prior visitors to the Vitality Stadium.
  • The image triggered heavy online backlash from Spurs fans, and post‑match scenes included tense exchanges between Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro and the travelling support.
  • Spurs have only two wins in their last 12 league games and sit 14th, extending scrutiny of Frank’s eight‑month tenure following another late defeat.
  • At least one outlet reported the club is considering his position, though there is no confirmation of a change as injuries and January recruitment needs weigh on decisions.
