Thomas Frank slams VAR decision: Speaking after the match, Thomas Frank questioned VAR's decision to intervene after Bramall had made an initial decision.

Frank makes Tottenham sack prediction: Elsewhere Frank is very confident that Tottenham's owners will stick with him. Speaking recently, the Dane said: "I'm very confident. I think the ownership - of course I'm just starting to know them - but it seems like they're good guys, intelligent people."
