Tottenham Hotspur manager, Thomas Frank, has admitted his team put up “a bad performance” as they lost 4-1 to Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.
Eberechi Eze’s hat-trick powered the Gunners to all three points at the Emirates.
Spurs only goal came after Martin Zubimendi was robbed of the ball and Richarlison sent the ball over David Raya from range.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Frank express his pain and disapppointment at the manner they conceded the goals.
He said: “I think it is extremely painful. I won’t talk away from that. It was a bad performance. It was completely the opposite of what the intention was when we came here.
“We can only apologise to the fans for the performance.
“I think no matter if both teams wanted to play shirt, they got more out of that and we couldn’t get out.
“When the team went long, we didn’t win enough duels. That is exemplified by the 2-0 goal and the 3-0 goal, where a player went through two or three players. Bad performance and we lost.
“I have seen a lot of character and fight in this team but we didn’t win enough duels. We can call that whatever we want but we didn’t win enough.”
