The Spurs secured a 2-0 victory at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/manchester-city-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Manchester City<\/a> with first-half goals from Brennan Johnson and Joao Palhinha to seal consecutive Premier League wins for Frank since he took over.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a failed \u00a367.5million bid for Crystal Palace winger Eze, who has since joined arch rivals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/arsenal-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenal<\/a>, and the ire of travelling fans directed at chairman Daniel Levy, the team celebrated another away win against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/pep-guardiola\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pep Guardiola<\/a>&#8216;s side. Frank stated: &#8220;I think it&#8217;s fair to say we&#8217;ve had a few questions about the transfer market and why not and if? But it&#8217;s very, very easy. We never ever use on word about any player who isn&#8217;t at our club.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is extremely important that we have a good group of players. We have quality players who I am very pleased with. We have brought in two good players to help. Can we improve it? Perfect.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we can&#8217;t, then we have very good players &#8211; as we showed today.&#8221; The game turned in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/tottenham-hotspur-fc\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tottenham<\/a>&#8216;s favour with two goals scored within 10 minutes towards the end of the first half.<\/p>\n<p>Frank expressed his delight, saying: &#8220;I am very delighted. I thought the first 35 minutes were quite even, with City slightly on top.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then we scored a very good goal and the momentum changed. In the second half we were very good because this is a very tough place to go. We were very aggressive in our press. I like that method. It&#8217;s very offensive.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has dismissed any talk of Eberechi Eze prior to his team&#8217;s impressive performance&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18827,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[3610,18,19,17,16566,2353,795,132,3612,3613,16567],"class_list":{"0":"post-18826","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-eberechi-eze","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-manchester-city-fc","13":"tag-manchester-city","14":"tag-premier-league","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-thomas-frank","17":"tag-tottenham-hotspur","18":"tag-tottenham-hotspur-fc"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18826\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
