Tottenham Booed Off After Record-Low xG in 1-0 Chelsea Defeat

Frank vows a response before home dates with Copenhagen then Manchester United.

Overview

  • João Pedro struck in the 34th minute to seal Chelsea’s win, ending his nine-game drought and lifting the Blues into the top four.
  • Tottenham registered an xG of 0.05, their lowest in a Premier League game since Opta began tracking, from three shots with one on target.
  • Spurs were booed at halftime and full-time, and Thomas Frank conceded it was the least creative performance of any team he has managed.
  • Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence headed straight down the tunnel after the whistle, which Frank downplayed as a small issue while defending both players.
  • Spurs have one win in five home league matches under Frank, sharpening focus on immediate fixes ahead of Copenhagen in the Champions League and then Manchester United.
