Thomas Frank spoke to Sky Sports after Tottenham's defeat against Aston Villa: "It was exactly the game I expected it to be, against two good teams, very tight. There weren't too many chances. I think overall it could've gone either way. I think 1-1 would've been a fair result. Villa scored two goals from outside the box in moments where you wouldn't expect them to score. Fair play for their moments of quality. We also easily could've won."

On Cristian Romero pulling out in the warm-up: "Minor abductor injury. He felt a little bit the past few days. We expected him to be fine but he wasn't. I don't think it is too big.

"There were two big teams on the pitch. We started very well. Villa produced two goals out of nothing and we had four or five moments where we couldn't produce. If you told me before the game that these players will be shooting from these positions I'd have said 'happy days'."

How can Spurs fix home form: "I think we just win."

Defender Micky van de Ven spoke also spoke to Sky Sports after Sunday's defeat: "A tough game, a tight game. We know they're a really tough team to play against."

On Cristian Romero pulling out in the warm up: "We knew he was a doubt during the week already. But of course it's always bad when he pulls out in the warm-up. But I think Kevin [Danso] came in and did really well.

"I don't think we did enough. If we'd done enough we wouldn't have lost this game. I don't think we gave too much away, they scored two goals from outside the box. But I think we can also create more for ourselves.

"We always give 100% to the fans and the club and everyone."
