Last Updated : 24-Nov-2025 by Footymad

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has issued a public apology to the club's supporters following the crushing 4-1 defeat to Arsenal in the North London Derby. 

The heavy loss, sealed by a hat-trick from former target Eberechi Eze, was labelled a "demolition" and leaves Spurs in ninth place.

Frank took full responsibility for the performance, stressing that the team did not show the required intensity for such a fixture.

"It's extremely painful – I won't walk away from that," he told Sky Sports.

"We can only apologise to the fans for that performance. It was a bad performance. I've seen a lot of character and fight in this team, but we didn't win enough duels."
