Bad loser Frank blames Ollie for full-time scuffle

UNDER-FIRE Tottenham boss Thomas Frank was left “hurt” by their FA Cup exit to Villa, but defended his passionate players after a full-time melee and he also criticised Ollie Watkins.

A spirited second-half rally could not prevent Spurs suffering another early exit in a domestic cup to increase the pressure on Frank, who has lost seven of his last 13 matches after this 2-1 defeat.

Frank had endured a nightmare week after he inadvertently used a coffee cup with the logo of Spurs’ rivals Arsenal on before a 3-2 loss at Bournemouth, and they ultimately lost again to spark more boos for Frank with Villa's away support poking fun at the Danish coach with chants about him being an Arsenal fan.
