Romero’s late strike rescues point for troubled Tottenham at Burnley

Thomas Frank was brought to Tottenham as the pragmatic choice so will know the logical next steps when his own supporters are demanding his sacking. An underserved draw at Burnley, thanks to a last-minute Cristian Romero goal, leaves Spurs with two victories in 14 Premier League matches and chants from the away end of “We want Frank out”.

If the loss to West Ham resulted in crisis talks last Sunday, Frank must fear if Tottenham have their own version of a Cobra meeting, especially with the faithful angry. Micky van de Ven gave them hope of a much-needed win but Spurs did not capitalise on the opener, allowing Burnley back into the match, with Axel Tuanzebe and Lyle Foster making the pressure almost unbearable for Frank until Romero offered the briefest of respite as results put Frank in a vice.
