Thomas Frank looked back at the key takeaways from a 3-0 victory for Tottenham at Everton.

The unbeaten record remains away from home in the Premier League as Spurs have only dropped points at the Amex Stadium in a 2-2 draw with Brighton, their best performance of the campaign.

Frank does not want to make too much of the away form, but a central role for Mohammed Kudus and the display of deputy Kevin Danso were particular observations that attracted media attention.

“It’s still a relatively small sample. Hopefully, at the end of the year, the stats are fantastic away and fantastic home. It's a new team, but still a team that needs to find each other.

“We now have nine Premier League games, 14 games in total and we had one bad performance against Bournemouth, second half against Wolves, second half against Monaco, a bad performance. So, I think in general, we're building.”

“Kevin definitely deserves praise. He's stepping into the defence and needs to help the team. Every coach will love him, he’s a fantastic character and personality. I think yesterday he was very good.

“I think he was good and calm on the ball. He had some strong battles with Beto and Thierno Barry up front. From crosses, but especially from set pieces in the second half, where they bombarded us a bit, it was like he had a magnet head. So, everything went to him and he cleared it well. He did well.

“I sometimes try to change it a little bit, tweak it a little bit in the game. I wanted to have Brennan Johnson, who's very good from the right, his ability to run in behind and produce crosses as well.
