Post-match press conference with Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank after their 2-2 draw with Newcastle United at St Jamesā Park in the Premier League.
Bruno GuimarĆ£es put Newcastle ahead on 71 minutes after good work from Anthony Gordon and Nick Woltemade, before Cristian Romero headed in an equaliser for Spurs. Gordon restored Newcastleās lead from the penalty spot on 86 minutes after a VAR check for Rodrigo Bentancurās foul on Dan Burn, but Romero struck again with a spectacular 95th minute overhead kick from a corner to rescue Tottenham a point.
Frank praises Romeroās ātop performanceā in defence and in the box, calling his header āmore exceptionalā than the bicycle kick and saying it was better than many strikers. He highlights the character and mentality of the team to come back twice after a tough run of results, noting this was their fourth game in ten days and third away game, and insists Spurs are building on strong tactical foundations and decisive actions from key players.
He is adamant the second Newcastle goal āis never a penaltyā, questions VARās intervention after the refereeās on-field call, and calls for more consistency with decisions that āwould be given two times a gameā. Frank also hails Tottenhamās travelling support, describing the 3,000 away fans as āexceptionalā as their backing and togetherness with the team helped drive Spurs to what he feels was a more than deserved point, while stressing that in a difficult spell the only way forward is to work hard and keep going. Newcastle had more possession, more shots and the higher xG, but Spursā clinical finishing and resilience secured a dramatic draw.
