Thomas Frank saw more pressure lumped onto his shoulders as Tottenham stumbled out of the blocks on home soil against City. A disgruntled fan base, that has been airing its displeasure on a regular basis of late, was given little to get excited about during the opening 45 minutes.
Spurs were alarmingly flat, with Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo able to ease the away side in front before the break. Boos rang out around north London when the half-time whistle blew. There was, however, to be a stirring fightback after the interval.
