Tottenham manager Thomas Frank finally bowed his head.
Tottenham was defeated 1-4 in an away match against Arsenal in the 2025-2026 season at the Emirates Stadium in London on the 24th (Korea time). Tottenham collapsed, allowing Eberechi Eze (Arnall) a 'hat trick' (3 goals in one game). According to statistics company Opta, Eze became the fourth player to achieve a hat trick in Tottenham-Arnall 'North London Derby'. It was followed by Ted Drake (October 1934), Terry Dyson (Tottenham, August 1961), and Alan Sunderland (December 1978). As a result of the match, Arsenal (9 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss) maintained their No. 1 position. Tottenham (5 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses), on the other hand, dropped to 9th place.
British media outlet The Sun reported 'Frank apologized to Tottenham fans. I acknowledged that it didn't look good.' "It's really painful," Frank said. "It was the complete opposite of what we intended when we came here. I have no choice but to apologize to the fans for making this kind of play." Tottenham fans were seen leaving during the match.

The Sun said 'Tottenham's unbeaten record in away games in the EPL this season has disappeared. Now he is put to the harsh test of an away match between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and the European Champions League (UCL)."
Les Ferdinand, who played for Tottenham in the past, said "I'm ashamed to watch. Coach Frank is trying to play in a 5-4-1 formation. You should always take responsibility when choosing a system. I can do what I want, but I didn't win. We must strive to improve. It's been four months since I took over this team. Tottenham played against their best rival, and they lost heavily."
Meanwhile, according to the British media BBC, Tottenham's expected score was 0.07 goals on the day. It is the league's lowest expected score this season following the previous 0.1 goal against Chelsea.
