Tottenham beat Burnley in Frank debut

Tottenham secure a confident 3-0 win as Richarlison scores twice and Kudus shines in Frank league debut

Thomas Frank begins Tottenham era with win against Burnley

Tottenham opened the first league match under Thomas Frank with a 3-0 win against Burnley at White Hart Lane. Richarlison struck the opener in the 10th minute after a cross from Mohammed Kudus, who then set up Richarlison for a second. Brennan Johnson completed the scoring after Kudus again breached Burnley s defense.

Frank also handed starting roles to teenagers Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall in central midfield, a gamble that paid off as Spurs controlled long passages of the first half. Burnley created several chances but could not convert, and Spurs sealed the result with a late flourish that reflected their sharper finishing and organization.

Thomas Frank signals a change in Tottenham style. The approach under Frank prioritizes tempo and link up play, with Kudus connecting midfield to attack and Richarlison looking sharp in the forward line.

Consistency will be tested by tougher fixtures and the transfer window could shape the squad. A bid or talks for Eze shows ambition, but depth and discipline will be key to a longer run for Spurs.

The road ahead will reveal if this start becomes a turning point or a spark.
