Early this morning, Tottenham lost 0-2 to Newcastle United in the League Cup. Thomas Frank accepted an interview with the BBC after the game.

Frank said: "It's always disappointing to lose, and it's always disappointing to be eliminated from a competition that we hoped to advance to."

"Small differences decided tonight's game. It was a very close contest, with opportunities and offensive and defensive situations in the penalty area on both sides. Both goals also came from subtle mistakes, including Contains two errors. "

"One of the errors came from referee Kavanagh. Regarding the penalty that should have been given, Spence needed time to tie his shoelaces but was not allowed. I have communicated this with Kavanagh and the relevant content will only be known to the two of us."
