STORM IN AN ARSENAL CUP

Frank is Gunner batten down the hatches now

- BY DARREN WELLS

THOMAS FRANK called on his Tottenham players to stop hiding and battle through the “perfect storm” to turn their sinking season around.

Spurs have just two wins from their last 12 Premier League matches, with pressure mounting on under-fire Frank as his side sit 14th in the table.

A 95th-minute strike from Manchester City-bound Antoine Semenyo inflicted the latest defeat as Bournemouth’s 3-2 victory on Wednesday ended with several Spurs players in a tense exchange with some of their own fans.

Captain Cristian Romero hardly helped matters by taking an angry swipe at the club's board in a social media post, while Frank was pictured drinking from an Arsenal cup before kickoff to cause another avoidable headache.
