Overview
- Tottenham lost 1-0 at home to Chelsea through a João Pedro goal and were booed after posting an Opta-era club-low xG of 0.05.
- Post-match footage showed Djed Spence and Micky van de Ven walking past Thomas Frank instead of acknowledging him or the fans.
- Frank confirmed both players sought him out unprompted to apologise and said their actions were driven by disappointment with the result and the boos.
- Pundits including Micah Richards urged Frank to drop the pair, while some commentary suggested the reaction stemmed from anger at the crowd; a Daily Mail lip‑reading claim about Spence also circulated.
- Ahead of FC Copenhagen, Lucas Bergvall is sidelined with concussion, the Evening Standard reports Mohammed Kudus will miss out, and Spence missed a training session, though Frank said Spence and Kudus had knocks that could still clear.
