Thomas Frank faced the anger of the Tottenham supporters once again after another painful home defeat, with boos echoing around the stadium at full-time.
The pressure on the Spurs manager continues to grow, and this latest loss only added fuel to the growing calls for him to be shown the door. Despite the hostile reaction, Frank remained defiant and insisted he still believes his side are close to turning things around.
The defeat was a bitter one. Callum Wilson struck in the 93rd minute to seal a dramatic late win for West Ham, handing them their first Premier League victory in 11 matches.
For Tottenham, it felt like a nightmare repeat, as another poor performance ended in yet another loss in front of their own fans. The atmosphere at the final whistle said everything, with thousands making their feelings clear as Frank walked off the pitch.
Speaking after the match, the Spurs boss tried to strike a confident tone. He admitted that results will shape how supporters feel, but he firmly believes improvement is coming.
He told reporters that winning will change the reaction from the fans and insisted that the team is closer to finding solutions than drifting further away. It was a bold message at a time when patience is wearing thin.
West Ham arrived in north London low on confidence, having failed to win a league game in ten attempts, yet they looked sharper and more composed from the start. Their opener came after 15 minutes when Crysencio Summerville found the net, rewarding their bright early play. Tottenham struggled to respond and looked short on ideas, prompting loud boos as the players headed down the tunnel at half-time.
There was a brief lift after the break when Cristian Romero powered in a strong header to level the score. For a moment, it felt like Spurs might finally show some fight and take control of the match. Both sides pushed for a winner, and the game opened up as tension grew inside the stadium.
That tension turned into fury in stoppage time. From a corner, Wilson reacted quickest and forced the ball home, silencing the home crowd before triggering a wave of anger. The South Stand erupted with chants calling for Frank’s dismissal, a clear sign of how badly results have damaged the relationship between manager and supporters.
With eight defeats in their last 14 matches, Tottenham find themselves in a worrying position. Frank may believe the turnaround is close, but for many fans, that promise now feels familiar. As pressure continues to mount, the next few games could define not only Spurs’ season, but also the future of the man in charge.
