Tottenham boss Thomas Frank issued an apology after his side were thrashed by Arsenal in the north London derby. The Lilywhites were thumped 4-1 as Arsenal moved six points clear of Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table.
“I think it is extremely painful,” Frank told Sky Sports. “I won't talk away from that. It was a bad performance. It was completely the opposite of what the intention was when we came here.
“We can only apologise to the fans for the performance. I think no matter if both teams wanted to play shirt, they got more out of that and we couldn't get out.
“When the team went long, we didn't win enough duels. That is exemplified by the 2-0 goal and the 3-0 goal, where a player went through two or three players. Bad performance and we lost.”
