Overview
- Tottenham lost 2-1 at home to Newcastle and dropped to 16th in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone with 12 matches remaining.
- Home form worsened to just two wins in 13 league games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as boos and chants calling for Thomas Frank’s sacking rang out.
- Frank said he spoke with the club hierarchy on Monday and expects to remain in charge for the north London derby, after unconfirmed media reports claimed he had been dismissed.
- Selection issues continue, with Cristian Romero starting a multi‑match suspension after his red card against Manchester United and a lengthy injury list further disrupting the side.
- Benjamin Sesko’s stoppage‑time equaliser earned Manchester United a 1-1 draw at West Ham, ending Michael Carrick’s perfect start and preventing Spurs’ buffer from shrinking to three points.
